CLASSICAL MUSIC ACROSS EIGHT ISLANDS

The middle section of the programme was perhaps my favourite. It never fails to amaze me that musicians and their instruments are able to follow sidetracks & detours through musical gneres and time periods. This section of the programme, vocally and instrumentally of runs and riffs I recalled from my UK folk club days more than fifty years ago. Manuel was at his most powerful and impressive with these songs and the relationship between tenor and players must be very secure to cover such a range of music.

MUSIC IS THE THING CALLED LOVE

Peter Bogdanovitch may have made greater and more successful films than Thing Called Love, but the film and the soundtrack of that title formed a cornerstone on which stood so many of my song-writing heroes, introducing them to the UK for the first time. I have so many memories of people and places of that period of my life, and I can find them all quite easily, in a file tagged Thing Called Love. For that I will always be grateful to film producer and director Peter Bogdanovitch.
