As our Sidetracks And Detours daily blog celebrated its fourth birthday last week, we were busy getting its three month old baby washed and dressed to take out in his pram as we have done for the past eleven weeks. So welcome to the new generation of Sidetracks & Detours and please say hello to Pass It On. We start today off with a great plaet of Hot Biscuits as Steve Bewick tell us of his Jazz on Air and then we bring you theatre news from Steve Cooke, and his latest reports from Manchester International Music Festival and Dr. Joe Dawson tells us all about the organists´ day trip to Leeds. Peter Pearson shows us all points forward with a look at tribute songs and Norman Warwick´s Island Insight is about All The Fun Of The Fair
