I remember this… because I was in the background, playing drums with the brilliant Jonathan Cohen of Play Away on piano. Lovely to see David Bobin in there too who I worked with at @SkySportsNews many years later. It all sounds rather good… 😃🎵🎹🎸🥁
It's Fern & Fred singing Walking In A Winters Wonderland backed up by Christopher Peacock and Peter Clark in a #Christmas Coast To Coast, 1986. Before a Malcolm Brown voiced trailer

Where is it being presented from?!😅 Would that be Stradey Park in Llanelli…?!?!🤣
Back in the 1970s/80s on BBC2. We had Rugby Special on Sunday afternoons with Nigel Starmer-Smith

As @usopen gets underway just across the border, here at Niagara Falls🇨🇦, I couldn’t help thinking @Wimbledon must have sponsored the light show. Nice touch…😁

Timed it a bit better today. The beautiful @CWHM Avro Lancaster gave us another salute today on the final day of the 2024 @WorldRowing Championships at St Catharines, Ontario 🇨🇦 #WRCHStCatharines. Luckily I just stepped outside as she flew over😍. @TopLandingGear

Just managed to snap a shot of the @CWHM 🇨🇦Avro Lancaster overhead as I was commentating live on a race at the #WRChamps @WorldRowing near Niagara Falls. Last saw it in 2014 when it teamed up with the @RAFBBMF Lanc in the UK🇬🇧. Sadly I’ll miss the @rafredarrows here next week.

Day 14 of 19 for me covering @Paris2024 for @eurosport @WBDsports. Gymnastics finished yesterday, and whilst our commentators did a brilliant job, this remains my absolute favourite bit of comms from the utterly brilliant @joetracini 🤣
16 hamster’s have a birthday today.
