00:00So we're just promoting the festival here, Pencredge...

00:02Excuse me, come on through.

00:03Basil, this is...

00:04No, listen, you've had more than enough time with the cameras now, it's my turn.

00:08Yes, that's your turn to stand behind me.

00:09I need to promote the festival.

00:11No, it's the festival at Pencredge on the bank holiday weekend.

00:15You've had enough time, you've had enough time, you've been on the TV, you've been on the radio,

00:19now you're going to be in the newspapers, online, everywhere, it's my turn now, go away.

00:23Oh, I'll tell you what, Mr. John, quick, move it, there's a train coming.

00:26That's better, I've got it, come to the Pencredge Festival.

00:29So, as you can see, we're here with a very popular icon, if you want to say hello, Mr. Brush.

00:34Hello, Mr. Brush.

00:35Oh, I'm saying hello, Mr. Brush, it's me I'm saying hello.

00:38Hello, Mr. Daniel.

00:40I do have a question, are you travelling tonight on a plane?

00:43I wish, I don't think the Express and Star can afford planes these days.

00:46I can see the red tail lights heading for spare.

00:50So we're standing in front of quite a wobbly board here in this nice bit of wind.

00:54Just, what's going on with this, Pencredge Open Air?

00:57This is for the Pencredge Open Air Festival.

00:59It's going to be in this very windy field on bank holiday weekend with fantastic acts on the Friday, the Saturday and the Sunday.

01:06And I'm going to be appearing on the Sunday of the weekend.

01:09It's been going nearly five years now and it's growing every single year.

01:13And we hope that thousands will be coming along filling this field and having a great weekend of music and entertainment.

01:20That's fantastic.

01:21So obviously you're appearing in it as well, so a lot of people can come down and see the icon himself.

01:26Yes, they can, they can.

01:27I'll be only here on the Sunday.

01:29I know Timmy Mallet's here for the kids on the Saturday.

01:31I'm going to be doing my slightly naughty grown-up show on the Sunday.

01:34So you can put the fingers over the ears of any kids that are coming along there.

01:37So it's going to be slightly naughty.

01:38But we've got all the amazing bangs that are coming along.

01:40You know, there's a huge list of them.

01:42You have a look down there on the, on the camera.

01:44You can see them all there.

01:45Look who's coming in there.

01:46Look, we've got, looking down there.

01:48We've got Nick Kershaw.

01:49We've got Chesney Hawks.

01:50Go West.

01:51Booney M.

01:52Absolutely.

01:53You've got the Venga boys.

01:54You name it, they're coming along to this fantastic Pankridge Festival.

01:58Be there or be somewhere else.

02:00Absolutely.

02:01And who is your, who is your favourite?

02:03Who are you, who are you most looking forward to see on the day?

02:05The Buzzspray show, of course.

02:06Oh, you see yourself.

02:07I mean, I'd like to be out there watching it because I know it's so good.

02:10I'll be out there watching it.

02:11I'd love to be, but then I don't quite know who would be on the stage if I was out there watching it.

02:14And that's fantastic.

02:15So Pankridge open air 22nd to the 24th.

02:18Yeah.

02:19Plenty to see, including yourself.

02:20Bank holiday weekend.

02:21Right.

02:22It's a bit windy, isn't it?

02:23I've always wanted a fox.

02:25Oh.

02:26But, you know, I just, I just.

02:29Well, we foxes are quite smelly, aren't we?

02:31Yeah, you can be.

02:32When a dog rolls in what you've done, you always notice it.

02:35Yes.

02:36Yes, you do.

02:37I like to mark my territory.

02:38Yes, on my lawn.

02:39On your lawn.

02:40Lovely lawn.

02:41Don't make it a nice lawn.

02:42I'll mark my territory on it.

02:43I know, you often do on mine as well.

02:46I know.

02:47Is it a bit of a messy lawn?

02:49No, no, no.

02:50Well, not until you come along to it.

02:53Oh.

02:54But very nice to meet you.

02:55Nice to meet you.

02:56Nice to meet you.
