Hi Brian,
That all sounds really interesting, nicely done!
I don't have your mobile number but I am connected to you on Skype. If there's a good time to contact you please let me know and I'll ping you and we can take it from there. Happy to help in whatever way is useful to you.
Thanks and regards,
Stevie

I have around an hour of audio from one of Tony Benn's appearances up here at the Fringe. Sadly, Real Work is leaving me with zero time to transcribe that into anything I can work from.
I won't, publicly, share the link to that; but, if anyone is interested in helping out, ping me. I have asked if the trailer for the film - an "audio-biographical" as they label it - can be released under a free license, which (with some hilarious confusion over Wikinews versus WikiLeaks) was in-general agreed to.
I also have an open invite to get in touch with Tony's assistant Ruth, should I be visiting London, to go one step further than Andy's current suggestion of recording an audio intro of Wikipedia bio article subjects, and capture a short video clip of Tony introducing himself.
Any help making that happen would be greatly appreciated. Since - at my request Tony spoke to his son Hilary, and got the photo currently adorning his Wikipedia bio gifted from Hilary, there is also an opportunity to request more images, from earlier in his political life, be donated to Commons.
Tangentially related, I've run out of some of the brochures I had. I've been leaving them lying around Fringe venues, and would like to keep doing so. But, obviously, with a Wikinews leaflet in-addition to all the Commons and Wikipedia stuff.
Someone in the office should have my mobile number, please reach out to me as I'm ridiculously busy with work.
Brian McNeil
