Great North Run charity runners raise around £25m each year for vital causes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alfie Joey on the great work that is done each year by everyone taking part in the Great North Run FOR many years I commentated at the start of the Great North Run for the BBC, standing above the Rose Bridge just off Claremont Road.

Alfie Joey gives parents and grandparents some much needed summer holiday inspiration!

Alfie Joey has found a new passion for classical music – and urges us to give it a listen to see what we’re missing I’M late to the party when it comes to classical music. And, confession time, I never thought I’d see the day I’d be a Classic FM/BBC Radio 3 listener. I was brought up in a house that listened to Radio 2 and good ol’ BBC local radio, the latter where I ended up working.
