Buzz Hawkins creator of "The Bradshaws" played on Saturday Breakfast comes to 6 Towns

Played every Saturday Breakfast at 9am, Buzz gave Nigel Bould the opportunity to air the Bradshaws for the first time 2 years ago on 6 towns Radio, and its been played ever since, Buzz is appearing live at the Kings Hall in Stoke on November 10th, worth every penny of laughs.

Buzz is coming into the studio (TBA) to do an intreview and like he said via a tweet "Drink all our coffee", heres some History of the bradshaws

Innocent beginnings on night-time radio as Buzz Hawkins goes from nightbeat musician to overnight producer and the Bradshaws walk in.

And then the real fun begins, as nights turn into days, and Alf, Audrey and little Billy Bradshaw get star-billing.

Long before he became a nightbeat musician on the local radio station, Buzz Hawkins was a 'Git/Voc' on the clubland circuit, purely for the money, you understand? (Make a note: 'Git/Voc' is Concert Secretary speak for Guitar Vocalist). He also nursed aspirations to become a Com/Git/Voc (Comedy Guitar Vocalist).

And then the Bradshaws family walked into his life, bringing with them a pleasant kind of triple schizophrenia. So he was catapulted into the even greater unknown as the Man Behind The Bradshaws and he's been behind trying to catch up ever since. No such luck though.

Soon the funny family's fame was spreading like a rash on a bare bottom in a clump of nettles, and Buzz began to get lots of enquiries for him to do shows and concerts.

Actually that isn't quite true. The enquiries were for the Bradshaws to do shows and concerts. "I am the Bradshaws!" he cried. "Don't talk soft, there are three of them!" was the usual response.

So how could he put a figment of his imagination on the stage?... for that's what the Bradshaws were at first, just a figment, a strange and modest thought, a mental aberration, some convoluted memories, a few wayward radio waves. That seems hard to believe now because, as we all know, the Bradshaws are real people (and anyone who thinks otherwise is fictitious).

Anyway, back to the question of how?

Firstly, consider this: the listeners had their own mental picture of how the family looked, or more usually how mam and dad looked - tall short, thin fat, specs no specs, small nose big nose, brunette blonde ginger, long hair short hair no hair, and a Lucky Bag-ful of other combinations.

So hopefully some free tickets to give away, and you could be with Alf, Audrey and little Billy (AKA Buzz Hawkins) live at the Kings hall in stoke
