The Banburyshire Brolly Podstation :-   2009   2008   2007   2006

Show 206 - Wed December 23rd 2009 Presented by Jules Procter. All the music on this show has a Scottish theme. There have been many celebrations this year marking the 250 years since the birth of Rabbie Burns, and it is a sign of just how influential his work has been in the number of places it turns up in, both musically, poetically and geographically. At this time of year it is traditional to think about family and friends, regarding back over the year and looking forward to the coming year, a tradition I fully endorse, and it's something I think we should do more often. The contact of friends, some of whom I haven't seen in too many years, is also always a cheering event. So best wishes to Lance in Exmouth, Owen, Ticker and all the Oxford crowd and Dave and Pip in Salibury. Featuring music : Corn Rigs by Hector Gilchrist The Dashing White Sargeant by Coila Ae Fond Kiss by Jim McAdams Auld Lang Syne by Wee Alex Click here to listen to the show Click here to listen online with the Jukebox

On Friday 13th November a festival fund-raiser will take place, with the Tindalls as support, and headlined by Something Nasty In The Woodshed.

Show 204 - Wed October 28th 2009 Presented by Jules Procter. Welcome to a combined Radio Horton show and Banburyshire Brolly podcast. One of the beauties of producing a podcast, is that you get a global audience, eventually. I've also been lucky in featuring music from across the world, sent either by e-mail, or on CD. The other week, the new Machine Breakers CD was dropped off by a chap out walking his dog! This show features him, Steve Matthews, talking about how he has progressed from just being a music fan, to becoming a band member, via band photographer for The Machine Breakers.
