Subject: RE: The Not The Finger In Ear Show (1982)
What else have you got in your loft?

Nothing else along the lines of those two. I have loads taped off the telly over the years but nothing else I was personally involved in like that so I couldn't YouTube them. I only feel able to be a video bootlegger within strict limits! I'm working on putting some of my old radio shows from the 80s/90s up on Podomatic as vintage podcasts even though that's quite questionable too: I wouldn't do it with anybody else's programmes.

Are you planning to direct any more festivals?

I haven't been asked to for a long time so I think it's very unlikely. Anyway, if you look at the bills of festivals now, that kind of variety is quite unusual and so presumably not really wanted by current audiences. Back then people were excited by the voyage of discovery. Now they're excited by evolutions within stuff they already know, which I suppose is equally valid but not so appealing to me. Times change.
