Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: Rain Dog Date: 13 Jun 24 - 02:30 AM Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on Tuesday 11.6.24 (originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2016) Suck it and See "Grammy Award-Winning songwriter Amy Wadge fell in love with the harmonica after winning one in a fancy dress competition (she was dressed in a bin liner!). Here she investigates the history and potential of the diatonic instrument, a European the toy which in the hands of expert players became the the iconic sound of the Mississippi Delta and the Chicago Blues. According to music historian Christoph Wagner, the very first example of the instrument goes back to Vienna. But millions would soon find their way to the USA, taken there by German emigres fleeing poverty. The poor person's introduction to music, the harmonica would soon find its way to around the globe, from Britain to Australia and even China. But it was in America that it scored its biggest success. Joe Filisko reveals it was there that harmonica technique underwent a transformation. Instead of exhaling air, blues players would draw air in, and bend notes to achieve the characteristic sounds of the blues. Amy tries her hand at bending, under the expert tutelage of Steve Lockwood - one of very few people to have studied the harmonica to degree level, and she speaks to one of Britain's best-known players, Paul Jones. Canadian beat-boxer Benjamin Darvill - "Son of Dave" - has explored new possibilities with the instrument, and with an original sound that's been heard in edgy TV dramas and commercials. Proving that for all its limitations - 10 holes and 3 octaves - there's life yet the harmonica. Produced by Geoff Ballinger." |

Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: FreddyHeadey Date: 08 Apr 24 - 08:01 PM Is this folk yet? idk I thought it was a very interesting and well put together programme anyway. The Golden Age of the MGM Musical - 2024 Sunday Feature ,,,Freed's music Unit employed the top musicians of the time - Conrad Salinger, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Kurt Weill - many of whom had fled war-torn Europe and rising anti-Semitism. From the early days of sound, MGM became synonymous with the spectacular, technicolour musical - the first studio to integrate music, plot and dance in film in an intelligent way. Over the years, with huge successes like Meet Me In St Louis, The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain, they became the 'Faberge Egg' of movie production. And these hits often coincided with moments of huge social and political turbulence, offering audiences fantasy and escape from the Great Depression, war and prejudice. With archive and original interviews including Alicia Mayer - grand-niece of Louis B, film music historian Jon Burlingame and conductor John Wilson, Neil Brand explores this extraordinary period in film history. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001xw7f |

He talks about mortality, creativity and spirituality, and about collaborating with his wife Edie Brickell and with the vocal ensemble VOCES8. There's also a chance to hear Paul performing in his first BBC radio session in 1965, as he remembers the London friends who gave him that early opportunity. Paul also talks about his present ability to perform, and his ambitions for the near future.

Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: GUEST,jim bainbridge Date: 08 Feb 24 - 07:57 AM I've never been a fan of Martin Hayes & his attempts at 'fusion' music, but maybe that's me? I just happened to hear him speaking on Radio 3 'Music Matters' as listed above. He had some very shrewd comments about folk music and I'd agree with most of what he said- worth a listen! |

Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: Rain Dog Date: 08 Feb 24 - 06:42 AM Broadcaston BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 4tb Feb and available for 24 days Desert Island Discs - Val Wilmer "Val Wilmer has photographed and interviewed many of the most significant musicians of the post-war years, including Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and many more. Val grew up in Streatham in South London, where a local record shop helped to nurture her love of music, especially jazz. Her lifelong passion for jazz and photography began at an early age: when she was just 14 years old, she persuaded her mother to take her to London Airport to see off the jazz legend Louis Armstrong who had been playing in the UK. She asked him for an autograph, then took a picture of him as he broke into a huge smile. The image was the first of many classic shots. Alongside her work as a photographer, Val has written extensively about music, as a journalist for numerous publications and as an author: her book As Serious As Your Life, examining the evolution of free jazz within the wider context of racial and sexual politics, has been widely acclaimed as a classic text. In 1983 she co-founded Format, the first all-female photographic agency, which aimed to champion women photographers and to widen the range of images available to newspapers and magazines. Her photographs are held in the collections of the V&A and the National Portrait Gallery." |

For the past 15 years, Ian White and others in Honor Oak, south-east London, have been meeting on the One Tree Hill Allotments to wassail the fruit trees.

By 1990 wassailing in apple orchards had almost died out in Somerset, but over the last thirty years the tradition has undergone a remarkable revival. As Helen Mark finds out, it's now very much alive and well - and if nothing else, provides a good excuse for a party to brighten up the dark winter nights! Wassailing on Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show - A West Countryman’s View Posted on April 3, 2017 by westcountryman http://www.westcountryman.co.uk/radio2wassail/ Having done an interview for BBC Radio Bristol about the ceremony of ‘Wassailing’ the apple trees, I received a call from the researcher for the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2. Would I help them with a live Wassail on the show was the question. Well… I could change things around a bit and be by the phone at the required time to do the interview. Oh no! They wanted me to go to London and do the thing live on air.
