The Glamour Poet versus Francis Bacon

Jeremy Reed in the studio; distinguished poet, half of musical duo The Ginger Light and author of numerous books including “The Glamour Poet versus Francis Bacon”, discusses Francis Bacon, the recent election and Friday 13th. Actually, it was mostly Francis Bacon thankfully. I discovered a cassette, recorded off the radio in the 1980s, possibly Richard Cork interviewing Francis Bacon. I played some sections of this to Jeremy and he recalled his frequent meetings with Bacon notably in a bar on Piccadilly station. Jeremy recites two poems inspired by Francis.
