What a brilliant evening with Clive Myrie and James Rodgers (@jmacrodgers.bsky.social) discussing career defining moments, BBC rehearsals for the Queen’s death, both of their books and so much more. Bravo to Derby Book Festival for organising a sold-out event at Derby Theatre - not a single empty seat!
