I was thrilled to have Music Legend Burt Bacharach as a guest. Since the early 60’s, he has been one of the most innovative and influential figures in popular music. With various lyricists, he racked up an array of International multi-million selling hits that included, Perry Comos ‘Magic Moments’ Dion Warwicks; “Walk On By”. Cilla Blacks “Any One Who Had A Heart” Gene Pitneys; "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa”. The hits just continued to come like; "Trains And Boats And Planes", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", "Alfie", "I Say A Little Prayer", and "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?". For Sandie Shaw "There's Always Something There To Remind Me", and the Walker Brothers "Make It Easy On Yourself". From Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid and its award-winning standard "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head". The hits just continued to mount up…

In fact, back in the mid 60’s with my group The Kingbees’ we recorded a Bacharach classic ‘My Little Red Book’. Unfortunately an American group 'Love' beat us to it and had the hit. Burt told me he hated there version! Ah well, what might have been……

America and Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan is in town to film another programme in his brand new ITV show; "Piers Morgan On…", where he acts as our access-all-areas VIP pass to some of the most glamorous locations in the world. Getting under the skin of Dubai, Monte Carlo and Hollywood and now Marbella, Piers takes viewers with him on a journey that offers a rare insight into the hotspots and to the people who live there. We all have our fingers crossed that this much anticipated programme will, at last, show Marbella in the positive light it so deserves instead of the negativity that we are all so used to seeing on British TV.
This, we hope, will be a unique marketing opportunity portraying our chosen home as one of the most beautiful and desirable places to live in Europe. So come on Piers, let the TV viewers see for once what a wonderful place this is…

Best night of the year so far. The Rees Daniels Max Clifford Golf Classic and what a night! My guests included Stan Boardman, Bobby Davro, Max Clifford, Bill Murray, Kenny Lynch and Des O'Conner ( see photo) . It's going to be hard to beat this night.

Gerald Ronson joined me for an interview and we spoke about his life and times.

When Ronson was fifteen, he left school and joined his father in the family furniture business, named Heron after his father Henry. In the mid-1960s Ronson brought the first self-service petrol retail outlets to the United Kingdom. Heron once controlled almost a thousand of them. Heron was also involved in property development, at first with small residential projects, later with commercial and office properties too. By 1967 the company was active in seven European countries and fifty-two British municipalities. By the early 1980s Heron was one of the largest private companies in the United Kingdom, with assets of over £1.5 billion, Ronson became known in the UK as one of the "Guinness Four" for his involvement in the Guinness share-trading fraud of the 1980s, along with Ernest Saunders and occasional business associates Jack Lyons and Anthony Parnes. He was convicted in August 1990 of one charge of conspiracy, two of false accounting, and one of theft, and was fined £5 million and given a one-year jail sentence, of which he served six months. In 2000 The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the 1990 trial had been unfair because there had been a violation of Article 6.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights

I celebrated my 60th Last Tuesday the 2nd June. Wendy and myself flew to London and stayed in the ultra modern Sanctum Hotel in Soho http://www.sanctumsoho.com/ On Tuesday evening we were guest on Brian May (Queen) and Anita Dobson (Ex Eastender and Brian’s wife) at the award wining musical ‘We Will Rock You’ written by Ben Elton and Brian May. It was an amazing musical extravaganza http://www.wewillrockyou.ca/. We were welcomed into the Dominion Theatre’s VIP Suit at the interval where Anita and Brian had arranged champagne, snacks souvenir programs and goodies. After the show a car whisked us of to Santini a very smart Italian restaurant just off Eaton Square. I can honestly say it was, perhaps, the finest meal I have eaten in a restaurant EVER!!! I had the lightly fried zucchini flowers filled with mozzarella followed by pan fried calves liver with mashed potato. I could live off the mashed potatoes (I’m going to call the restaurant and find out just what they mixed into the potato mash, incredible) It was a beautiful warm evening in London and we ate out on the terrace. We spent Wednesday having a late lie-in and then a little retail therapy followed by an early dinner and bed as we had to be up by 6AM to get to Gatwick to meet up with our son Justin and daughter-in-law Ani who were flying from Bulgaria ( where they live) on rout to New York with them was my birthday present our 3 year old grandson Alekzander who we then flew back to Malaga with for the two weeks that they will spend in New York then Wendy will bring Alekz back to Gatwick to hand him over to the kids in transit so they can all fly back to there home inVarna.
