BOB Harris, who first became known as the face of the 1970s live music TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test, is guest author at The Watermill Theatre’s Book Club on Tuesday. Bob’s infectious enthusiasm for music and ability to discover new talent has seen him become a national treasure. He continues to be a household name today and his velvety voice can be heard on BBC Radio 2's The Bob Harris Show and Bob Harris Country. Bob will talk about his updated autobiography, Still Whispering After All These Years. It tells his story of over 40 years of broadcasting, from the young, passionate music fan who moved to London determined to make music his life, to being presented with an OBE for his services to music broadcasting.

Much like his musical heroes, Bob's personal life also had a somewhat rock 'n' roll vibe: he has been married three times, gone bankrupt, fought cancer, weathered a very public spat with a fellow DJ and has had to revamp his career four times. Throughout all these times, however, his love of music and talent for broadcasting has endured. Still Whispering After All These Years is a frank, vibrant and inspiring tale of one of the most influential names on the radio and reveals the story of the man behind the voice.

Copies of Still Whispering After All These Years will be on sale at the theatre and a book signing will take place after the event. The Watermill Book Club is open to everyone. The restaurant will be open and serving lunch from 12 noon and afternoon tea.
