Russell spent much of the afternoon of Friday 9th December in one of the new studios at Media City, Salford, chatting to a number of BBC regional radio stations, including the home-based BBC Radio Manchester.
The intended topic was the DVD of his performance at the Royal Albert Hall, produced to mark the pinnacle of his return to good health and stronger voice, but the conversations digressed into Christmas, tales of days in the Clubs and Pubs – with lots of mimicking characters from his past – and joking about sprouts and the current windy weather.
Russell had Tweeted that he was going to do do ten back-to-back interviews but, so far, we know of only seven.
