Kenny Ball who has enjoyed a glittering career that spans sixty years, popped into BHR1287's studio today to share with us the contents of his new book "Musical Skylarks". The book which is out now takes a journey through Kenny's life from a boy, to forming his Jazz Men and much much more. Kenny spoke with Frank Toohey, our jazz enthusiast and presenter. Kenny, was the true gentleman and nothing was too much trouble from signing books, to staying and chatting to the presenters and staff of Basildon Hospital Radio. We were joined by Alan Whittle, Chief Executive of Basildon University Hospital, and Carla Winchester Quality & Performance Manager. |
