The Gloucester History Festival is celebrating its fifteenth year. The focus in 2025 was once again on music snd heritage as well as books and it has a diverse cast list – Frank Skinner and Celia Imrie were two of my fellow weekend headliners.

Jo Durrant of BBC Radio Gloucester interviewed me in front of a packed house on Sunday afternoon and here we are on stage in the magnificent surroundings of Blackfriars Priory, founded in 1239.
