Max Hastings speaks to Maurice Boland

max-hastingsMax Hastings will, perhaps, be best remembered for being the first journalist to enter Port Stanley during the Falklands War. He has also distinguished himself as a military historian, and was editor of both the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard. In his memoirs, he has written about the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of great events and the daily routine of editing one of the great British broadsheets. In 2002 received his knighthood.

He spoke on The Boland Show about his new book ' Did You Really Shoot The Television', and reveals the sadness in his very British childhood, his love for a stocky Yorkshire woman who devoted her life to him and how his passion for firearms as a child nearly led to disaster.

Rick Parfitt Jnr joined Hannah Murray on her show to promote The Rock Ball taking place in London on Wednesday 17th March

rick-parfittOn Tuesday, son of the Status Quo legend Rick Parfitt Jnr joined Hannah Murray on her show to promote The Rock Ball taking place in London on Wednesday 17th March. It´s the first major event to raise money and awareness for The RPJ Crohns Foundation, and will be hosted by Top Gear´s Richard Hammond who is also a patron of the Foundation. Rick was diagnosed with the condition when he was nine, and believes that his mother and father´s divorce and the devastating death of his baby sister could have been a contributing factor. Last month Rick´s father received an OBE for his services to the music industry. Despite an invitation, his son was unable to attend, as he was in hospital recovering from a radical surgery to remove a complete section of his gut.

Rick has followed in his father´s footsteps and has his own band, The RPJ Rock Band who are one of the most sought after bands in the UK and are consistently being booked for corporate events and celebrity parties.
