In his campervan…with all this equipment so he could be on the air. So I said to James “ I’m not coming in, I’m not there".
"So James said: “ I’ve got all this equipment” and I said “ stop showing off” and he said “ not like that, radio!” so he’s brought his campervan to where I’m staying."
Chris says he couldn't let the listeners down.
