19 Apr 15 - 02:23 PM (#3702985) Subject: RE: Radio Ballads - documentaries From: ChrisJBrady Re: other Radio Ballads of interest: [GMGough] has reminded me that there is another influential Radio Ballad that seriously needs rescuing: "Last Shift" Radio Ballad was broadcast as part of The Andy Kershaw Show on BBC Radio 1 on 2nd June 1997. [GMGough] opines "Last Shift" was a BBC studio recording based on Richard Thompson's "Industry". It seems that the broadcast was far more than a run through of the CD, but was presented in the style of a (MacColl) Radio Ballad." http://www.siiye.co.uk/E7/PAGE_199.html Does anyone have a copy please? === Then there is: Priscilla Bigadyke - see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jpkx3 http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/lincolnshire/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_9409000/9409650.stm Again does anyone have a copy of the radio prog. please? === With regards to "The Man Who Went To War" from 1944 the latest information is at: http://music.ku.edu/%E2%80%9Cnon-extant%E2%80%9D-recording-langston-hughes-ballad-opera-found A photo of the cast is at: http://bbcradio3.tumblr.com/page/5 - scroll to the bottom Efforts are being made to persuade the BBC to air this definitive programme again - 70 years after its first airing in 1944. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?&q=%22man+who+went+to+war%22#search === CJB |
