Right Lizzie,

This is what you need. For a "traditionally" based show - i.e little or no blues or world music.

A two hour show needs approximately 24 tracks. You need them around 3.30 seconds. Longer ones need to be balanced with shorter ones. A mixture of solos, duos, and different sorts of bands. Accompanied and unaccompanied. Choose revival and traditional, some comedy and some more modern stuff and stuff in between. Mixture of tunes and songs.

Then you need to balance that together.

Then you need to see if you can do it every week for a year.

Don't rely on the BBC Radio Devon library having sufficient material - they probably don't.

So have a look at your record collection and see how you would put a show together. Come back on here with a suggested programme - and I am sure Ralphie and I could help once you have done that. Don't start worrying about minutes and seconds yet.

Just post a list of suggested tracks in the order in which you would play them for - well let's say the next four weeks.
