Rolf Harris and Mike McCartney along with many others started off singing in my Liverpool Home. Recorded in the gallery space we get to ask a few questions, and Rolf discusses his work especially the Rolf on Art image based on Aristine Bruon, which was created after an accident in Cycla Styling. He goes on to discuss what inspired him as a child, growing up in Australia, Van Gough in particular, but more especially  Hayward Veal impressionist artist (aka Bill Veal) who was a mentor to Rolf when he was Art School. Rolf go's onto explain how he could further develop his work, and the guidance that his daughter an artist in her own right offers. In 2005 Rolf was thrilled to paint the Queen for her official portrait and here he offers an insight into the experience.

At the end there is a great song, so see the audio piece out to the end, as it is a must.
