Danny Baker to perform

RADIO presenter Danny Baker is to perform a show at the De Montfort Hall on Wednesday May 16.

Danny is a BBC Radio presenter and football expert known for his strong views. And he has also starred in the I’m a Celebrity show on TV.

Danny said: “Following the extraordinary success of the Cradle To Grave tour I was asked to reconsider my initial statement that I would never undertake such a venture again. The applause of the public can be a seductive narcotic and weaker souls than I would be tempted to repeat the thrills harvested during that ‘uproarious whirligig of joy’ simply to bolster their already outsized egos. After much reflection I have decided that I cannot allow such rampant narcissism to cloud my judgment. I said ‘one farewell’ tour’ and I meant ‘one farewell tour’. There will be no more.

“Therefore I am pleased to announce that, to mark this momentous decision, I will be embarking on a nationwide, high-princi- pled, peppy series of onenight-stands calling at dozens of theatres around the country.

“These exhibitions will be startling, high kicking, fresh, eruptive and often under three hours long. On this, once again, you have my word.

“To help me mark the festivities I will joined on some nights by both Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan – two of the nicest dogs I have ever owned.”
