Absolute Radio, November 2nd 2009 Jimmy appeared on the Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show (despite this being posted on the 5^th). See topics list below – where he mentions the gig her did “last night” as evidence of date.

That morning Jimmy also dropped into the Radio 1 Chris Moyles Show, with David Walliams. In 2009 both R1 and Absolute Radio were in a building called 1 Golden House.

At this point Jimmy was on his Rapier Wit tour.

This is a fun one to listen – no shouty host, decent questions, good chemistry between guest and host. Recommended.
