Bob hosted a special edition of The Country Show on BBC Radio 2 on 11th April to mark 25 years at the helm.

It’s just over a week since he compered the annual C2C country music festival and Bob Harris chuckles when Total TV Guide asks him about how hard liquor and a US singer-songwriter led to him getting his first ever tattoo, aged 77.

Encouraged by a 23-year-old country musician Jackson Dean, the broadcaster now sports new ink on his right wrist.

Bob hosted this year’s C2C Festival at the O2 along with Alana Springsteen - take a look at the pictures!

Bob’s “Country Show” has again been voted Radio Show of the Year in the The Americana UK Readers’ Poll for 2023.

Bob was delighted to be cast in Tom Harper’s brilliant film “Wild Rose” alongside Julie Walters and the film’s magnificent star Jessie Buckley.
