GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!
Welcome to episode 15 of Buddy’s Buddies! A VERY special edition at that - this is part 1 of the ‘Margate Voices’ series, which is a collabo between myself and the Margate Mercury!
Lucy, the editor of Margate Mercury had an idea of a way to combine forces, whereby the format of the podcast would be the same as always but the guests would be in a somewhat different vein to usual. In this case, she had an idea of connecting me with this guy called Cyril - she gave me a few key details which sounded so fascinating, and we had a brief meet to see about fixing a time to record, and BOOM - the rest was mine, and now YOURS to find out!
So what follows is a lovely chat which I was lucky to be a part of, detailing Cyril’s crazy journey from his life in Zambia (living in a town called ‘Broken Hill’ aka Kabwe), to his mechanic leanings and then to his journey to Margate, on a flight with a few quid in his pocket… The rest is yours to uncover, and I don’t want to give you all the details because it’s so much more rewarding to find out for yourself now isn’t it?! I really hope you like it - Cyril’s a lovely fellow and his cups of tea are immaculate, take it from me. I’ll get a few links up here too to give you some more points of reference. In the meantime though, please take some time to hear from Mister Cyril Wilfred Wilson!
SEMI SPOILER THOUGH - this episode is released, somewhat co-incidentally, on the 4th anniversary of his liver transplant to the day. It felt significant. X
