I had be abroad unconscionably early today and heard much more of 'Breakfast' than normal - I thought Louise Fryer was a treat, spot on. Not a tweet or a tease in the half-hour I heard, and Iestyn Davies singing 'Fairest Isle' needed, according to Ms Fryer, "no introduction". So we just got the music. Perfect. I was cycling down the Mall in the sunshine at the time. Quite set me up it did.
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Must give it a listen. What with her and Ian Skelly ...

Quite right, it'll be a very fortunate child with such an extended and talented family to support it growing up - and spoiled rotten as all grandchildren are!! And all of R3's listeners rooting for it too!Originally posted by Radio64 View Post
Oh, and possibly a few other high placed folks as well....Daddy seems well connected too....perhaps he's been giving our Roger a few tips....

Hang on a sec! If there were no exhortations to tweet or text where does that leave all those apologists who say that the rest are just following orders? Seems to me that there's a bit more personal choice in this than we've been led to believe.Originally posted by Caliban View Post

Very interesting comments today. I do not agree with some, but do agree that Louise Fryer was a treat as presenter. It is to bad that CBH will be back tomorrow.Comment

I liked this quote from the Guardian radio critic: "Since Twitter is now the primary means that notables of all sorts use to get their thoughts and plans into the public domain, and is used to solicit listeners' feedback by everyone from LBC's Nick Ferrari to Radio 3 Breakfast's Clemency Burton-Hill, refusing to mention it is like sending The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on TalkSport out to do brekkie battle with boots laced together. Twitter is the answer to any broadcaster's prayer because it can be used to demonstrate that somebody apart from their mum is listening."It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
