Brace yourself: You are about to hear the voice of the art worlds most elusive figure and learn his first name.

Maybe.

Nigel Wrench, who worked as a BBC arts correspondent in the 90s and 2000s, claims to have unearthed a taped 2003 interview he had with Banksy early in the incredibly secretive graffiti icons career. Wrench told BBC Radio 4 that he was inspired to dig up the long-forgotten conversation which was recorded on a minidisc collecting dust in his cupboard after listening to its Banksy Story series, which concluded in July. As a result, the BBC released a bonus episode Tuesday that features audio from Wrenchs interview, in which the purportedly male artist seems to confirm his first name.

In the 2003 recording which was conducted to support Banksys Turf War exhibition , held in an east London warehouse Wrench begins his interview by testing his mic, and then asks the artist if hes OK with Wrench using his full name for clarity.

Is it Robert Banks? Wrench can be heard asking.

Its Robbie, the artist responds.

Robbie? OK says Wrench before the audio cuts off.
