Roger Limb, Glynis Jones, Mark Ayres, and I were at the Music Producers Guild Awards last week, where we picked up the Pioneer award for the Radiophonic Workshop, past and present, alongside rolling credits of over eighty people connected with the workshop, headed by Delia Derbyshire and John Baker.
Mark Ayres and I were outside Cardiff's concert hall, and two elderly guys pass by on bikes. One says to the other... "That was when they took away the toilets and I haven't been since." #overheard
"Here were two beautiful and evocative stories told by the people from Falling Tree productions. Yes, radio can be so much more than two people yakking in a studio..." Great to see both Alan Hall's Cannon Fodder and Eleanor McDowall's Into the Ether in this - www.irishnews.com/entertainmen...
Radio review: So much more than two people yakking in a studio

Thrilled to reveal the cover for #DoctorWho The Collection Season 13! We're back again, giving our beloved show the love it deserves! (10 points to the first person who spots what the background to this one is).
The last post from our local @royalmail.bsky.social post box is at... 9am. Ridiculous.
With Doctor Who legends Dick Mills and Mark @markayresrws.bsky.social Ayres. Together with our respective better halves, our annual (or thereabouts) Doctor Who alumni meal was a joy from start to finish.
I’m on my way to the @ivorsacademy.bsky.social Ivor Novello Awards in London, genuinely the biggest song contest in the world. Guess which earworm has been stuck in my head all morning? Dugga Doo from Doctor Who that’s what. Thanks, Murray. ;)
