On Midweek this week:-
BILL SHANNON
Bill Shannon is known as "the Crutchmaster". He is an interdisciplinary artist with a unique fusion of movement developed through his use of crutches and skateboards. He is currently on a UK tour with his new production Sketchy.
CHARLES SWIFT OBE
Charles Swift is a retired British Rail engine driver. He followed his mother into local government and was elected as a Peterborough City Councillor in 1954. He has since served as a Mayor, become a Freeman of the City and been awarded the OBE. Passionate about localism, he has devoted his life to public service, and he is still serving as a Councillor 52 years on.
JOAN POLLOCK
Former nurse Joan Pollock has dedicated the last 10 years of her life to the people of Spiti, a remote valley 12,000 feet up high in the Himalayas on the Tibetan plateau. She founded the charity Spiti Projects. There will be an evening of Himalayan music and dance in aid of the Spiti Projects which will take place at St. James Church in Holland Park, on June 6.
EAMONN HOLMES
Broadcaster Eamonn Holmes was named after another famous TV presenter, Eamonn Andrews, and since he was a young boy he wanted to follow in his namesake's footsteps. While growing up in Belfast during The Troubles TV became his means of escape; the bulletins reporting the world on his doorstep inspired him to work in television news. He moved into breakfast television, presenting GMTV for 12 years and now Sunrise on SKY News. He has written his autobiography: This is MY Life, published by Orion, at £17.99.
