For Sunday we have programmed a series of inspiring speakers from the world of music, travel, entertainment and film. We are calling it our Food For Thought Tent. It will be a window into their minds giving us inspiring chat and undoubtedly some illuminating digressions.
Annie Nightingale
18.10
Radio 1 legend Annie Nightingale celebrates 40 years on the airwaves this year. She will be regaling us with her tales of the last 4 decades at the top of the airwaves, having helped shape the station's embracing of underground sounds.
Howard Marks
15.45
Mr Nice aka Howard Marks also has a few tales up his sleeve from 40 years at the top of a very different business. Quite possibly a man with a tale for every situation, his global travails have led him in and out of all kinds of adventures. A mesmerising close up with this welsh wonder.
Simon Beaufoy
13.30
For our film talk we are honoured to have along the UK's most successful screen writer. He has an Academy Award, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe, having written favourites such as The Full Monty, Slumdog Millionaire and most recently his second collaboration with Danny Boyle, 127 hours.
Robin Ince
11.20
From working as a writer on the 11 O'Clock show to supporting Ricky Gervais on the Politics tour. He's worked with many other comedy greats and has appeared everywhere from Edinburgh Fringe to his revered experimental Book Club show. We are pleased he will open our speakers session with a review of the morning papers. Come and join him in an irreverent version of what the newsmen give to us.
Programmed in association with The Ilkley Literature Festival.
