Patrick Murphy, Nick Owen & Jim Rosenthal – Behind The Mic Wed 20 March 2024 – 7.30pm

Three national broadcasters with over 150 years’ experience between them have joined forces to share their highs and lows from their illustrious careers. Jim Rosenthal, Nick Owen and Pat Murphy first worked together 50 years on BBC Radio Birmingham and, throughout their stellar careers, have remained firm friends, swapping tales over many a long lunch!

They have attended some of the world’s most prestigious sporting events – from Ashes battles, Olympics, Rugby and Football World Cups, countless Motor Grand Prix, and memorable boxing nights. Nick has also carved out an impressive career in news, current affairs and entertainment, interviewing 7 Prime Ministers and, among others, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Elton John and the Bee Gees while on the Breakfast TV sofa.

The anecdotes from Jim, Nick and Pat aren’t already known from podcasts or autobiographies. They were there when sporting history was made and their tales are specific to them, freshly-minted, not recycled tales that are now familiar to many audiences.
