Promotional activities for This Day In Music’s Guide To Queen have included a number of interviews for radio and newspapers, organised by This Day In Music Books and Red Planet Publishing. The links to BBC iPlayer expired after 30 days, but some other interviews and articles are still available to stream or view and links for these are included below. I did two busy days of interviews for BBC regional radio, at BBC studios in Salford and then Sheffield two days later; my interviews with the late great Pete Mitchell took place at his studio near Marple, Cheshire; the remainder of the interviews were conducted via phone or Skype.
