Snooker legend Dennis Taylor

Sunday with Anna Curran

Available for 28 days

A World Champion, much loved commentator and one of the great storytellers of snooker, Dennis Taylor, joins Anna for an in-depth chat about a life that took him from Coalisland to the Crucible! He tells Anna about his trademark glasses, that 'feud' with Alex Higgins and Anna wonders what's more nerve wrecking, a black ball fight or doing the Cha Cha Cha on Strictly? Anna is also joined by author Séamas O'Reilly, known for his memoir 'Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?' He's just released his debut novel 'Prestige Drama'. It's the story of what happens when famous American actor Monica Logue disappears just as she’s due to start starring in a series set during the Troubles. Plus, country singer, motorcycle racer and racing pundit Alanna Maher reflects upon the North West 200 road race. And to celebrate S.W.A.C's first birthday Anna looks back on some of the big interviews from the past 12 months, all sound tracked with feel good tracks from the Sunday Songbook.
