If you regret the continuing neglect of light music on R2, you may be interested to know that R4 is broadcasting a 30-minute profile of Eric Coates, from 3:30 to 4pm on Sat 23 Feb.

I'll be setting VideoPlus very shortly!

Ian.

Thanks, Ian. Half an hour is scarcely long enough to scratch the surface, though.

I just wonder how many people will record it, let alone use VideoPlus to do so!

Have now belatedly heard this. Half an hour wasn't really long enough, of course, but within this limitation we were given a good cross-section of music and commentary.

Some very well-informed speakers were on, including conductor John Wilson--a real expert in the field and, even better, a Tynesider! Also on hand was an acquaintance of mine, Micahel Payne, who has just completed a doctorate in which Eric Coates was the subject of his thesis and who added some thoroughly perceptive comments.

Repeat on R2 clearly called for!

Ian.

Or even MICHAEL Payne.
