has BC heard the album yet? any chance of a review?
I heard snippets of the programme this morning and thought it was Billy Bragg...
I heard this yesterday morning, he made me smile :-) It was great to hear Lewisham being mentioned in a blues song!
Well done Billy, for putting Lewisham on the map.
Ooooo look at you with your obscure early 80's cartoon references...

A German early 80s cartoon, no less.
jesus, I just watched that link. Don't anyone try and tell me that kids tv was better in the old days.
Billy Jenkins is awesome - FACT. The wit and charm heard on Midweek is a true reflection of the man. I had the honor some years ago of devising and delivering a music and drama project for local kids. They loved him and so did I. A true Lewisham man.
