El Greko on Folkwaves today

From: George Papavgeris

George Papavgeris, aka El Greko, appearing as the guest on Mick Peat & Lester Simpson's "Folkwaves" programme on BBC Radio Derby tonight at 19:00 (12:00 noon in Chicago, 4am tomorrow in Canberra). You can listen in over the internet using this link: Folkwaves on the Internet (click on "Listen Live"), or of course on 104.5FM, 95.3FM and 96FM if you are local.

If you do listen in, you'll also get to hear the newest song, "Tsamiko", which is rapidly becoming a favourite of mine - but not on any album yet.

Thanks for the info, George. And thanks for including the other time zones. I'll set my alarm clock to remind me.

I think there's a good possibility that 17:00 BST = 1 PM/13:00 in Chicago and 2 PM/14:00 Mudcat time(EST).

Applause! Wonderful songs and arrangements.
They just said the show's archived, so if you missed it live, you can still hear it.

Just back from the motorway. Thanks, folks! I am glad you got to listen in. Les, I just sent you an MP3 of "Tsamiko".

Now - a whiskey to relax....

I listen to Folkwaves fairly regularly, so I caught it even though I hadn't seen this announcement. Great job, George. You're a really fine songwriter. Hope you give Tsamiko a Getaway debut this fall.

Hi George...great to hear you last night!! And thank you soooooo much for 'Anytown' you Sweetiepie! xxx

Do you think it's just a coincidence that Folkwaves has *finally* been given a *listen again' button on the *very* day that George appeared?

"I don't think so!!" she sang in a high voice...with a big grin on her face!!

I'm off to listen to the sequel of Johnny Don't Go Walking In The Sea in a minute...great to be able to do that now too.

Hope Mick and Lester looked after you well George! ;0)

They did, Lizzie - I got plied with tea and sandwiches, and then they plied me some mre... Both Mick & Lester are great fun to be with and it's great to see them bouncing off each other with the patter. As for the "Listen again" - well, it cost me a bit extra, but it was worth it! :-)

Breezy - from my experience, if you ain't got RealPlayer, then the website will automatically prompt you to install it (FOC) when you first try to access the listen-again link. That should put you in there. best of luck.

Sorry John
What MM says is correct.

Better still go to this website http://www.download.com/RealPlayer/3000-2139_4-10255189.html

Save it to your desktop.
That way you can open it from your desktop and install it.

Once it is installed, make sure it is open and then go to the radio programme and it should all work.
