I was once at concert of Dvorak Symphony. No. 9 when the presenter mentioned 'The Hovis ad music' and never even mentioned Dvorak.Last edited by Stanfordian; 31-08-19, 10:37.

My question to Roger Wright is: "What is the point in having 2 x Classic FM?"

Originally posted by Mal View PostLong time since I listened to essential classic, but I thought I'd give it a bash during my morning coffee break (c1030am). Some good music being played, based on the theme of "dramatic rides", but totally spoiled by several minutes rabbiting on about what Fred from Selkirk or Mary from Plymouth thought was a good ride theme. Surely they just need to say, once a year, that audience requests will be taken into account. Are "essential classics" regulars such narcissists that they need to have their name and occupation read out on air? Indeed so crass! And so boring.
I think we have proved beyond reasonable doubt that we are narcissists .....
