AUTHOR and broadcaster Ian Skidmore spent last summer on a nostalgic visit to his old stamping ground in North Wales and has just published a book about it – his 25th publication in twenty five years.
Forgive Us Our Press Passes, published this month in paperback at £9.95, is a hilarious biographical account of his career as a writer and broadcaster in the 1960s and 70s.
Ian, 79, who used to live in Brynsiencyn, Anglesey and now lives in March, Cambridgeshire, said: "The memories immediately came flooding back to me – the people, the places, the storieS.
Ian achieved world-wide recognition, and won a Golden Microphone award for broadcasting, after inventing Radio Brynsiencyn, which had listeners in Boston (USA) and an appreciation society at Oxford University.
His junior reporter on the programme was the future singing star Aled Jones, who was still at school the first time he ventured out to conduct an interview.
