We’re all in party mood today, celebrating Phoenix FM’s 4th birthday – which was actually on Wednesday. Amongst other famous people we share our birthday with is 4 minute mile runner Roger Bannister, who was 82, and Hollywood legend Joan Crawford, who would’ve been 107. It was also the 58th birthday of soul diva Chaka Khan, which gave a good reason to dig out I feel for you!
Prolific local author and historian Frances Clamp took us back to a time pre-Joan Crawford, with a fascinating look at some archeologocal finds linking Billericay with the Bronze Age. Frances joins Scott Ross every Tuesday afternoon on Phoenix FM with Bygones.
