Greetings,
The blending of articles of historic and heritage interest in with music over the 6 hours of the weekly Tuesday Variety Time means that there is less music now than previously. However, other presenters at the radio station continue to play music with 'heritage' values. I too will endevour to keep good music as a major part of the programme, even if it is now just filling in between the other items.
I have recently acquired a 100 disc library of music that made it to the Jazz Music Charts from about 1935 to about 1955, and I hope to be able to include plenty of this on Tuesdays.
Through this time, A Newsletter from the Hampden School will be read just before the 5.30 item, ISIRTA means 'I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", a BBC comedy show of the 70s, an item from Radio's archives will be at 6.30, and after the Concert Piece will be an item from the archives of the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club.
Here is the anticipated schedule for the next 13 weeks.
