Stuart Maconie is perhaps one of the most well-known people working currently at the B.B.C., whether that be in the guise of being a radio presenter, music journalist or writer.  When he comes to Liverpool as part of any book launch, it is bound to be so well attended that any available space in the building in which the informal evening takes place is likely to be just enough room for a discarded 45 rpm single to take up residence and wonder what it did not to be selected for Stuart’s latest book The People’s Songs: The Story of Modern Britain in 50 Records.
