Mark is the best radio presenter of his generation. He loves the music, has great empathy with his audience, a great sense of humour and can, erm well, er, speak quite well usually.
Have recently picked up a 2nd hand copy of Radcliffes book Thank you For The Days and in it he mentioned this episode in his life. Had to check it out for real. Great stuff!!!
@MissAlabaster Yeah, I was reading his book, which is a very good read, and I read that he was Shane MacGowan on Stars In Their Eyes, and I thought, 'This I have to see.' and he doesa brill impression :)
Just read the chapter "The Day I Was On Stars In Their Eyes" from Mark's Thank You For The Days autobiography so I had to look this up. (Cracking read by the way)
Actually quite a few of them appear to not be ERS-7s. Anything other than an ERS-7 is pretty cheap. I bet you're looking at less than $100,000 for the lot.
Loved reading about this in Mark's book 'Thank You For The Days' and, given that Mark has met and interviewed Shane a couple of times and quite hit it off, I'm sure Shane would find this hilarious. Big fan of Radcliffe, what a lovely bloke.
