I went to the Plaza to see ‘The Bradshaws’. It wasn’t until 2009 on returning to the North West that I first heard them on Tameside Radio. To the surprise of many listeners, including myself, each of the characters is voiced by Buzz Hawkins I was accompanied by Andy Hoyle, a churchwarden at St Thomas’, who was previously a presenter on Tameside Radio, and who knows Buzz well. In the show Buzz mentioned going to school in Ancoats, St Annes. I said to Andy, so did John Henshaw, and within seconds John stood up on the front row.. When I was priest at All Saints, Micklehurst in Mossley, I would see him in the Co-op, and he walked with St Joseph’s on Whit Friday, wearing his Manchester City scarf.
