A special episode of More Rosebud today with a great poet, and filled with great poetry. Roger McGough tells Gyles about his striking first memories, his childhood in Liverpool, and interweaves this with some readings of poems inspired by his life. Roger remembers his hardworking father, the long line of men who came to the house to pay their respects to his father laid out in the coffin after his death, meeting Philip Larkin at Hull University, and then his early days performing poetry and sketches in clubs in Liverpool in the sixties - which led to his fame as a poet and as an unlikely pop star in the group The Scaffold - with hits like "Thank You Very Much" and "Lily the Pink". Plus Gyles and Harriet enjoy a poem written by a Rosebud listener.
