RIP Andy Peebles, famously the last man to interview John Lennon. We used to work in adjoining studios at Real Radio. I always remember him telling me what he said to the boss when offered a new contract: "I asked him, do you know what the word derisory means?" 😂 https://t.co/7jokT9iptD

LS Lowry died this day in 1976. Growing up in Salford, I was surrounded by his old haunts, & everyone we knew had a Lowry print on their wall. In fact, my great uncle lived next door to him and his mum. ("She was a right old cow!") https://t.co/145NaolxKe
