Re: Ian Skelly / the presenter’s choice
I wrote to IS asking if it would be possible to publish the list of music played after R3 Live in Concert. This is his answer to my query:
I will take this issue up with the producers who suggest material for the slot. On the night itself it can often be very frantic behind the scenes making sure the music I play fits the gap available, which is always a last minute thing
[…]
It can be like landing a jumbo jet on a postage stamp
I took this to mean that he had (not small) part in selecting the music played.
Re: Beni Mora
I turned the radio off at 8.30 to avoid having to listen to IS doing the chore, and missed almost all the rest of the programme so I can’t comment on what happened. But I would rather presenters be honest than pretending to know everything and prattling on to cover up or just playing what they can safely talk about. As ff mentions in her post, IS is not a reviewer or a critic but a broadcaster and I think an excellent one as to that. Let’s not pick on things that are not based on their (IS & other broadcasters) inadequate professionalism.
