It was actually a very good plug, although I would question Alex Brindley's show being called popular (I find all that Benny Hill as a schoolboy sort of 'humour' a bit pathetic). It pains me to do this, but anyway, here's a clip from the Steve Wright show last week, which featured a local guy who had chosen some tracks: 20190813 Steve Wright Alex Brindley 01.mp3 Edited August 19, 2019 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parchedpeas Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Shall we give Alex some credit then? I think we should. It's not my cup of tea, but fair play to him - who else has had a hat-tip from Steve Wright? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only benefits the already super-inflated and teflon coated Alex Brindley ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These radio folk are pretty skilled in emergency content provision. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Nice one sultan. Steve Wright had mentioned the guy from the Isle of Man and after a couple of records he came out with the quip. It does sound Googlesque and it is very Steve Wright as he does that sort of kidding thing a lot. Edited August 20, 2019 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True-ish I suppose, but the approach to music taken by France Musique and other stations such as TSF Jazz seems to be where radio 3 is heading. TSF Jazz is superb, absolutely superb. Not so much down market (think: Classic FM) rather sideways a bit. They'll get there, maybe it'll take a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Williams Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'd like to say something on this topic, but what's the point, you probably wouldn't listen and you wouldn't hear what I had to say anyway as I have a bag on my head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to anyone who gets up at that time in the morning to sound that happy. Must be a strain on an off day when you feel like crap and we all have those.
