AN ALTERNATIVE SELECTION: on air in the next seven days
… thanks to compiler Mike Ollier:
Radio For Grown-Ups
Tues BBCR2 22.30 ~ 23.30
* When Rockabilly Ruled ~ OK?
Mark Radcliffe looks at the '70s revival, so expect The Stray Cats, Robert Gordon & Link Wray, The Polecats etc ~ incidentally, the Vincent Vincent and the Villains album Gospel Bombs is an absolute treat if you are into rockabilly. Thurs BBCR2 ~ 23.00 ~ 00.00
* Theme Time Radio With Bob Dylan: Prison
Repeats continue on terrestrial radio Fri BBCR6 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Theme Time With Bob Dylan: Days Of The Week
Smiley Lewis, Tom Waits and The Undertones ~ Bob's taste is wide-ranging and eclectic and usually spot on. Fri BBCR3 22.30 ~ 23.30
* Jazz Library: Ken Colyer
Selected recordings on what would have been the trumpeter's 80th birthday Fri BBCR3 23.30 ~ 01.00
* Jazz On 3
Japanese foursome Gato Libre live Sat BBCR2 19.00 ~ 20.00
* Icons Revisited - Bruce Springsteen
TV For Grown-Ups
Tues BBC2 22.00 ~ 22.30
* Later Live
I don't get this Tuesday night show ~ OK it's live (as Jools is at pains to let us know each programme) but why watch it tonight when the show is an extra half-hour in its traditional Friday slot (and you can record and edit out the cack)? Anyway, tonight (and Friday) guests include Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings ~ the band that normally back Amy Winehouse - with their 'regular' singer, and very good they are too. Also Toumani Diabate. Fri BBC4 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Amazing Journey ~ The Story Of The Who
Is there anything left to say about the Oo? Interviews with all protagonists and lots of archive footage Fri BBC2 23.35 ~ 00.35
* Later
See Tuesday Sun C5 11.00 ~ 12.00
* My Music
Sorry, I forgot to let you know about these programmes featuring 'young new' folk artists talking about their inspiration. I say 'young' cos last week's (Kate Rusby) and this week's feature (Eliza Carthy) have been around for years ~ never mind, these are in a dumb time slot (hence me not telling you!) and look like they belong on BBC4 on a Friday ~ typical of the way that most TV treats music lovers.
Not Music, But We Like It Slot
Friday BBC1 9.00pm has the return of Have I Got News For You (hurrah) which is repeated in its longer form on Saturday evening on BBC2 ~ host is Jack Dee who is usually pretty good in the chair.
