Town of the Week

A couple of researchers from BBC Radio Wales were going around town on Thursday. Next week, Hay is going to feature as Town of the Week on Wynne Evans' radio show. I didn't know who he was until they explained that he was the Go Compare opera singer! Each week they choose a different town - and they had plenty of material to choose from in Hay!
I did a short interview telling them about the history of the Cinema Bookshop, and as I was doing that a lady came up to listen. She told them she's been coming to Hay with her partner for about twenty five years from Formby near Liverpool - and she knows everyone! She was suggesting different people they might like to talk to, like Scarlet at the Blue Boar, and took them off to show them round! They also made sure that they had her phone number, because she was so entertaining that they wanted Wynne to interview her live on air!
