People of Note - Richard Griffin

Loading player...
It’s all about the circus on People of Note this week, more specifically a circus without animals. Rodney Trudgeon’s guest is the creative mind behind the erstwhile Madam Zingara and now The Fantastic Grifizzi Brothers, RICHARD GRIFFIN. This circus is like a touring carnival that moves via flatbed trucks and pantechnicons to outdoor venues where the set up includes food stalls, a restaurant in a double decker bus, a children’s show and a big top.

People of Note is broadcast on Sunday evenings just after the 6pm news and again on Thursday just after the 1pm news.
