ROB BRYDON ON TWIRLS

WHSMITH

WHSmith
117 Muswell Hill Broadway
London
N10 3RS

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 70p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Photo and Twirl information supplied by @themanwhofell, who comments "it's all very well offering half-price books but the Twirls are very expensive. Yesterday I saw Hollywood actor Clive Owen outside this shop. He crossed the road and went into Marks and Spencers. I didn't get the chance to ask him about Twirls".

6MUSIC

The marvellous Alexandra Heminsley was on 6Music with Cerys Matthews this week and agreed to sneak the word "Twirl" onto the airwaves. Reviewing There Will Be Rainbows, a new Rufus Wainwright biography, she and said of Rufus:

There's always pictures of him on the front of a Sunday magazine or whatever with him doing a big twirl!

Excellent work, Heminsley!

You can listen on iPlayer for the next few days (about one hour in).
