"He was in many programmes, but it's his performance in the movie Restless Natives that he'll be remembered for.
"A wonderful film.
"When I was at Irvine Beat FM, Claire Gray-Wilson from the Harbour Arts Centre brought Vincent to be interviewed on my show.
"At that time he was promoting his one-man play 'Linwood No More'.
