So Alex Lester is presenting the documentary about The Alex Harvey Band on Saturday. Nice extra work for him, but does this mean Richard Allinson has gone for good? Or is Alex simply a big fan of the band?

I don't mind hearing a different voice doing the documentaries every so often.

I like to hear people who know about the subject doing documentaries, not just commentators.

Fair comment - I'd expect AL would know/like the Alex Harvey Band - I'm pretty sure I've heard him play their material in the past. Rachel would be probably able to confirm or deny that.

They all play Alex Harvey Band - I think he's on the Oldies' playlist.

I just thought this is the sort of thing Richard Allison or (lately) Mark Radcliffe would do and was surprised Alex Lester is doing it.
