08 Nov 00 - 02:54 PM (#336791) Subject: History of Protest songs From: Dave the Gnome In view of several threads on the above topic recently I thought some of you may be interested in a UK radio broadcast. Starting tonight (Nov 8) on UK BBC radio 2 at 10pm GMT there is a series about protest songs. I guess each programme will last 30 mins but I didn't catch how long the series runs. UK listeners can get it by switching to radio 2 between 88 and 91 on the FM band. Overseas can listen on the web on www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 I will miss it myself as I have just taken the music machine in for repair. (suppose I could sit in the car... nah - not that interested myself!) Anyway, enjoy Cheers D the G |
