My good friend Andy Harden, author of the three Henry Mouse books that I illustrated over the past 3 years ( we do one for each Christmas ) has just been featured on BBC Radio Gloucester and other local stations reading the first of our books. Which together with the second one a year later helped raise enough money to buy a defibrillator for a local school. There's a scheme called upload where we were able to submit his readings of the books to them for possible broadcast, and we were chosen.
I just listened back to it and Andy did a great job. Imagination helped all of us with my drawings, all the best drawings are on the radio! We were delighted with the production and are hoping for more exposure for the other two books over the coming year, thanks to Adam Crowther at the BBC for putting it together. Very weird hearing one's name on the radio.
They are going to repeat the programme on Saturday on all the local radio stations: Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bristol and Somerset. You can find it on BBC Sounds on the internet if you feel like a listen, and our bit of the programme is the first 20 minutes. It's live tomorrow night between 6 and 8 pm.
Big thanks to everyone concerned and a big plug to Adam and his people at the Beeb.
The books are now also available on Amazon right here
