Our very own Gordon Millward talked about his life and poetry on Radio Merseyside on 12th October - on the Drive Time Show. Here he is chatting and reading one of his poems to Drive Time presenter Claire Hamilton.
If you’d like to listen again to Gordon follow the link and go to ten minutes or so from the end of the show and you will hear Gordon’s dulcet tones.
You can hear Gordon again at our AGM on 14th October, reading more poems from his book ‘Days of Hope’ - proceeds from which will go to Neurosupport, the Parkinsons Disease Society and the Walton Centre.
