Chris Moyles - The Scottish Connection
So there we were at the Sony Awards when Joanne, my P.A., spotted Chris Moyles sitting with his ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 chums at the next table. Actually, that's a lie. Chris and his pals were at one of the good tables that are illuminated by the overhead lights so that the cameras can pick him up.
We were at a table so far away from the central podium that it had a Luton postcode. But very handy for the Gents toilets all the same.
So Joanne approached Chris and asked for a photograph. Apparently he was one of the "nicest men in the world " and exchanged polite chit chat.
Funnily enough, Chis Moyles sidekick, Comedy Dave, appeared on the MacAulay & Co show the other day. I came across a weird explanation of this on the David Lewis
So, who else did we meet? Well who knew that Moira Stuart was a big jazs fan? Well our Jazz House team have signed her up for an appearance on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland soon. Or so they say. It was a long night.
And Annie Nightingale was had some very kind words to say about our music team in Glasgow and had find memories of making a programme with us a few years ago.
And I shook the hand of John Humphrys who had provoked the rowdy crowd at the Grosvenor House in a moment's silence to remember the plight of our kidnapped colleague Alan Johnston.
"I just felt it had to be done, " he told me.
Absolutely.
