Best of luck, Chris. I've only just discovered New Scorpion (still don't know why it's taken me so long)and do try them.
Cats at work - yes, amazing that Radio Cornwall decided there was no demand for John the Fish's slot. It may be that he decided to stop and they couldn't find anyone else to take it on - I don't know.
Still and all, I'll certainly listen to the Reading output on the Internet - I think Harding is at the mercy of the programme planners and would certainly give more artists an airing if he had the chance.
