Goodbye To Maudelayne

After some 13 weeks,Maudelayne comes to an end on the first Sunday in July.
It was quite an 'off the wall' adventure,but well scripted I thought.
For those who missed it-the series was set at an Ox-Bridge collage in the 1930s,where a 'rift'had enabled a fantasy world to enter reality.One of the cast members was Mark Kalita,who will be back with us the Sunday after as Doctor Who.

Talking of fantasy-this Christmas we are presenting Book 1 of 'Into the Land of The Unicorns'
For more details click onto our link at 'Fullcast Audio'.It is read by author Bruce Coville with cast and music.
There are 4 parts to this drama which I am planning to put out over Boxing Day.This will be the 'centrepiece' to our Christmas Box of goodies this year.

June Update on the Greenthorpe Studio.....

At the moment I am still having some problems with the home studio.
The earth 'buzz' from the turntable continues to be a problem and I need to sort it out in order to deliver a good signal while playing my records.Everything else seems to be working as it should,having finally managed to sort the output levels.
One other problem is that when I re-installed the 'Winamp' it also brought in a 'virus',which is being picked up by my anti-virus programme and enables me to put the thing into the vault.It may mean I have to un-install the Winamp and re-install it.One could go quite dizzy!
As for broadcasting from home,this will have to wait until I move the 'studio' out of the living room and upstairs,where I'll have more space to work in-probably in the autumn.

THE JUNE 2010 BLOG....

Hullo There!
For a change I thought I'd use this shade of green for the blog-all things being 'summery',that is.It makes a change from black and white,I guess.
I don't usually buy singles(that's a record for all those under 50),but I found a recording from 1978(when I were a boy dj) by Chris Blake,who sadly passed away five years ago at the age of 55.It's the theme song to the Weekend TV sit-com 'Mixed Blessings'Do you remember it?The song was written by Peter Davidson-Doctor Who number 5,who starred with Chris in another series'Love For Lydia',also starring Mel Martin.Chris also starred in Yorkshire Telly's(remember the 'Y' and the first bars from 'On Ilkla Moor Bar Tat'?)'That's My Boy' with Mollie Sugden and I think her husband William Moore-please correct me if I'm wrong!
The 'B',or 'free' side to this record is Chris singing 'Lost on a Wing',penned by John Gray.The label and number of the record is Weekend DJS10855-marketed br DJM Records- Dick James Records-
Dick James who recorded The Robin Hood song from the 1950s tv series starring Richard Greene.
