No need to speak quietly... for music buffs of a certain generation, Whisperin’ Bob Harris is a living legend as a broadcaster.

And the good news is, Bob’s coming to Bewdley Festival, and even better, he’ll be turning up with the mercurial and sometimes controversial Danny Baker.

A spokesman said: “Bewdley Festival has created a unique and exclusive evening on October 16 for their festival-goers this year, with An Evening of Conversation featuring Bob Harris and Danny Baker.

“Former purveyor of progressive rock, champion of new country music and internationally acclaimed broadcaster, Whispering Bob Harris, has graced our radio stations and televisions for five decades, bringing his unique brand of broadcasting delivery and magic to everything he does. From Sounds of the Seventies through Radio Luxemburg and The Old Grey Whistle Test to his groundbreaking Radio 2 show, Bob Harris Country, he has always provided the intelligent viewer or listener with commentary, insights and interviews of the highest quality.”

The spokesman added: “We have read the Danny Baker autobiographies, we’ve watched the TV show based on his childhood and teen years in Bermondsey and we were still listening to him on the radio every week until events earlier in the year. Danny Baker is an inexhaustible source of highly entertaining trivia and a teller of amazing anecdotes covering his colourful and star-studded life, spent mainly in the worlds of broadcasting, music and football.

“Dispensing with the radio traditions of outrageous jokes, blokey comments and pop-picking clichés, Harris marked himself out as the quiet voice of reason in a world of crazy rock-drenched excess.

“This is a double act that has more opinions on just about everything than any other pairing known to mankind. The evening promises to be informative and hilarious in equal measure.”
