Greetings Listeners,
Here is the spring update of what's going to be heard on Trevor's Tuesday Variety Time. (That title actually, comes from the past days of radio. The father of a mate of mine, Stephen Chadwick, did I think it was a twice weekly 15 minute radio programme reviewing the latest records available at Columbus Radio Centres. These shops had the sole rights to sell Capitol, Tanza and RCA records. His show was called 'Chad's Variety Time' and he was 'Chad, your Variety Time compere'.)
Two new books are started, The Thief Lord is a story in 12 parts for younger ears, and after We of The Never Never finishes the 9 pm book readings will be from Wake the Dead, by Dorothy Simpson.
I have had some quite positive feedback about the archives of the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club. These tapes are, in the main, varied and interesting. There are many tapes in the archives of music, much of this music is similar to my normal programme material. But an hour long tape of nothing but theatre organ music - no, I don't think I'll be playing too much of these sorts of programmes. Maybe in short bursts.
So as you read the details below, bear in mind that each Tuesday at 6.30 is a programme from the archives of radio; and between 8 and 9 is an item from the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club archives. These Club tapes are made by members, for members, and the quality is not always the best.
And, don't forget, you can pick our radio station up anywhere in the world by logging on to www.ohr.nz
Happy Listening,
Trevor
