Steve Wright in the Afternoon - Buddy Greco and Robyn

Logo for Steve Wright in the Afternoon - Buddy Greco and Robyn

American singer, songwriter and pianist Buddy Greco stops by Studio 6B this afternoon to chat about his new tour and his past gigs with Frank Sinatra and The Beatles, while Scandinavian pop star Robyn serenades Steve and Tim with a traditional Swedish folk song. In today's fabulous Factoids, we learn what the first animal to be domesticated was; how high the Eiffel Tower is and why a graphic designer from Dorset is considering a change of career because of his similarity to a very prominent footballing figure. The top-notch Talkie bits are particularly smashing today - Steve reveals why he's wearing his shades indoors a la Bono today, the team discuss how they've been caught out abroad with ever so slightly out of date foreign currency and Steve shares his love of vending machine beverages. Today's Talkies are chosen by Martin Reading who's confusingly from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The 50 year old delivery driver gives us half an hour of ecclectic classics including a Bennie Hill standard and a lesser heard song from Joan Armatrading.
