I'm hoping that there will be some of Reg's archive recordings that didn't make it to the "Paddy In The Smoke" LP and CD Spent many a happy Sunday lunchtime there in the 60's and 70's. Of course, Dave, they've knocked the pub down now to build the new Ar****l stadium. |

Through interviews and archive recordings, Debbie Kilbride reconstructs The Favourite - a landmark in the story of her father's generation and of Irish music in Britain. |

And whilst you've got the Radio on, if you're in London, I'll be presenting the Traditional Music Hour on Resonance 104.4FM from 2.00 to 3.00 GMT (Peta is also a sometime presenter as well as the whole show being Reg Hall's original inspiration to add a topical connection for this thread) Non Londoners can listen on the internet at their web site. I have also started a web site with my past play lists and some info on the show if you'd like to see what you might hear on my show. Only my most recent playlist is there at present but more will be soon. |
