Something along the lines of The times are changing And peace on earth has come to pass Although the war is raging They say each war will be the last Said the boys back at Enniskellen There's a road block army does all the killing And the BBC will beg forgiveness... Then I can't get the last line a...

Any transcription of the new words in Oliver’s Army, intrigued by the reference to Enniskillen?

Woodson-Oxford on University Challenge just there, failed to identify EC as the singer of Pump it up from a short clip. They answered Tom Petty...

I think that clip was shown on the BBC at the time. I’ve never seen a complete set list for that concert.

Erey, there’s a bit more to the Honours system. Out going Prime Ministers can directly nominate candidates, a convention not always observed but one that has led to accusations of cronyism - if you google Lavender List, Cash for Honours you’ll see what I mean. Mrs May may be preparing hers as I writ...

From the Barrowlands Glasgow show 2004, about 7 tracks broadcast. Available on the relevant BBC iplayer.

I wonder if he put his own name forward or, if not, who did. You don’t simply receive a nomination. Your name is put forward and then considered. I can understand the hypocritical arguments. I just hope Elvis is not wheeled out to sing Oliver’s Army in the same way as Macca always is to do Hey Jude...

The Beatles eps had similar covers - white band at top with name of song(s) and the word mono, in lower case, top right

Usually they broadcast one track from the session. This one seems to pop up every few months.

Watching the detectives turned up in the background of the Torvill and Deane drama on UK tv on Boxing night

Emotional Fascism, check your in box

We could probably subdivide radio broadcasts to include pre-FM; and soundboard to include those assisted listening device and in ear monitor thingies. Compilations can be fun (I may have had a hand in Four eyes one vision) - I especially like the media blitz ones that popped up, e.g. bringing togeth...

There's an ALD recording of this show on Guitars 101 at the mo.
