Billy chats to Jim and Charlie about next year’s Global World Tour and the making of New Gold Dream: Live at Paisley Abbey, among other things in what was an hour long middle section in Billy’s show that aired on Saturday, 30 September 2023. I have taken out the music so it’s just straight chat….

I then pointed at him and said “you’re Tim Vine.”…
Here we go, here we go, here we go – here we go, here we go, here we gooooo!!! This one from Fiona is the best. Literally saving the best until last. ???
