The programme about Lancashire folk pioneer Harry Boardman that Chris Harvey and myself have been busy with over the last few months is now available to listen to on www.themusicwell.co.uk

People taking part in this documentary are:
Baz Barker, Alan Bell, Chris Cole, Mark Dowding
Mike Harding, Chris Harvey Pollington, John Howarth
Mary Humphreys, Gerry Kearns, Bill Leader
Roy Palmer, Brian Peters and Bernard Wrigley

The narrator is Ali O'Brien

We recorded 8 or 9 hours of interviews with people and managed to whittle it down to about 45 minutes with music by Harry making up the hour.

Chris and I hope you'll have a listen and let us know what you think.

Harry died 20 years ago and we feel that this is a fitting tribute to him. We hope you agree.

Cheers
Mark

What an excellent piece of work!

I'm halfway through listening to it. It's a thoroughly professional documentary and equals anything that BBC Radio 4 might achieve.

Apart from the professional production it makes a suitable and long overdue tribute to a very special man.

Thank you all.

Hi Kitty

THIS PAGE is where the programme is located. The programme should start to play when you click the link. It worked when I tested the blue clicky so hopefully you should hear it. Have you got the volume turned up on your PC? (Daft question but it's the sort of thing that people forget!)

Have another go

Cheers
Mark

Mark - I re-read the instructions after I'd posted, and tried clicking on the play button icon, and it worked, so I'm listening to it now!

Thanks

Kitty

Thanks for the kind comments. We'd love to get the programme on Radio 4 but it would need a bit of trimming to get it into a timed slot - what do you leave out??

Cheers
Mark

Fascinating. It was great to hear the earlier stuff, before
I knew Harry. Very well researched and professionally put together.
