Close Encounters Of The Bird Kind

Billy’s Best Gigs
I am now quite a regular listener to Billy Sloan’s show each week on BBC Radio Scotland. This week was a fascinating show, with him asking the big names of music, sport and politics what their favourite gig of all time was. At the 1 hour, 36 minute mark, you can hear Sir’s choice…won’t spoil…
