Our Mike has been a fan of Frank Sidebottom since he saw him on ITV kids show No.73. So Mike was chuffed to bits when back in October, Frank turned up at the studio one Sunday afternoon during his show!

Frank Sidebottom (and his driver Dave) came down prior to his gig at Pave in Hull. Frank did a bit of poetry before having a tinkle on his keyboard. Mike Said "I asked him to play Billy Ocean's 'Love really hurts without you' but he didn't know that, so he played "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" by The Ramones instead!"

Mike & Frank were on the air for 2 hours chatting about his TV appearances on 'Match of The Day', 'Remote Control' (with Anthony H Wilson), 'No.73' and of course his own TV series filmed at Yorkshire Television in Leeds, 'Franks Fantastic Shed Show'.

Later that night, Mike met up with Frank Sidebottom again before his Hull Comedy Festival gig on Princes Avenue and watched the show, he even ended up selling raffle tickets at half time!!! Sounds like fun!
