WOLFENDEN’S WORLD OF SOUND

It’s the final episode in this series, so I brought my chum Andrew Wilson into the studio with magic internet pipes to discuss those performers who have been wrongly and sometimes rightly derided by the critics. I’ll be back in two week’s time for six more episodes.

Nuzzle growl woof.

If you don’t speak dog, the phrase above means ‘welcome esteemed lover of my kind. Please stay and listen to music created by feeble humans about us dogs. I require a walk and a treat now.’

Grab your flares and Sony Walkman from the loft because this week I’m looking at TV themes from the 70s & 80s.

Let’s slide down the time pipe and head on over to the local music hall for some bawdy entertainment and naughty company.

Errors and omissions in this episode.

I forgot to mention that some of the recordings in this show date to before the First World War and that the reason so many music hall stars were recorded in the 1930S was because Music Hall enjoyed a brief revival.

The correct title of the comedy series I mentioned is Tales from the Mausoleum Club not Tales of the Mausoleum Club.

This episode is left here as an item of historical interest.

Many years ago when I developed a presentation style for radio it had to do two things: slow down my natural speech pattern and knock the edges off my Yorkshire accent. It took me years to get right, before I threw it out for a more rambly style when I started podcasting. Dusting it off again for this podcast I came to the sudden realisation that I now sound like Matthew Sweet and this entire episode sounds like a poor man’s Sound of Cinema. This is not Sound of Cinema.
