McCartney Times

A programme that explores a truly poignant time in history and great icon this Autumn is John Lennon’s Last Day (Thursday 8th October, 10-11pm), performed by Ian Hart (Boardwalk Empire, Harry Potter as Professor Quirinus Quirrell). This single voice, dramatic monologue sits between drama and documentary and is an utterly compelling story of John Lennon’s last day. On Monday, the 8th of December, 1980, one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century was shot dead in New York City. Lennon would have turned 75 on October 9th2015, but his life was cut tragically short. This docu-drama, written by first-time radio writer and partially sighted Stephen Kennedy from Dublin, charts the events of that infamous day.
