In the run up to Saturday's book signing at Waterstones in Harrogate, here's this afternoon's chat with Elly Fiorentini at BBC Radio York . We ramble on in true local radio style about Frank's Wild Years , Ted Lewis, Mike Hodges and a bunch of other gangstery stuff. I'm first up - just after the Simply Red track (in which Charlie Drake witters on about fairgrounds and the thought of coming home). It's about 8mins50.
