I spoke to Pat Tynan this morning, and he tells me that we've managed to get tracks from Cat Nav played on Radio 2, BBC Scotland, Radio Wales, Radio Ulster, RTE Radio 1 and a good number of local stations, but radio 4 still remains a closed shop. Apparently one of the problems is that we now have a culture in which we can say the Eff word on air, but we can't promote a charity directly, unless it's Terry Woebegone's Children In Need, or whatever.
So, would you be prepared to send in an email request to see if we can get a track, possibly the ArchBishop of Canterbury's Lost Elephants of Denbigh played on radio 4's Poetry Please? At the moment, this is one of the holy grails, so to speak.
I don't want to do this through FaceBook, because we need requests to look like spontaneous listener requests. Anything that smells of a concerted effort or campaign will torpedo our chances altogether, because Auntie Beeb will quite rightly run a country mile to avoid appearing to respond to special interest groups.
If you do send in a request, don't copy me in, but if you want to send me the message you posted from your sent items folder after it's gone, fair enough. Please let me know the outcome.
