Snooker fans are having their say after Kathi Hartinger talked to me on Radio Snooker about the loss of events in mainland Europe.

I’ll be recording a new broadcast soon and you can be part of it. Message me here or email radiosnooker@mail.com

One of the great survivors.

Me I mean, not the Guggenheim. The Guggenheim has only been here since 97. I’ve been around since November 1974.

They ignored my suggestion for The Grumbleweeds to do the halftime show again.

Time to remind my fans for the umpteenth time that, against the odds, the Grumbleweeds and the Super Bowl did once meet. Thanks to the TV Times.

Guten tag.

Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe goes on the road. Good day to you from the Tempodrom in Berlin.

All being well I’ll bring you interviews from here over the weekend. Unless I spend the whole time in karaoke bars, in which case I won’t.

A couple of people have asked about the Alex Higgins picture at Goffs that I referenced on the podcast. This is the one.

Plenty of big matches in York today, of course.

But there was also Bell v Metcalfe in London.

It’s become a tradition now to name competitions after the snooker player watching over us.

So we played for the David Gray Trophy. And Bell won it, the rascal.

It’s going to be so late finishing at the snooker tonight, I’m just going to carry on watching until this lot come on the air
