A usual mix of the good, the bad and the... Depeding on your point of view and musical taste. It would be interesting to know who the selectors were.

Why do so many people mistakenly think Delia Derbyshire COMPOSED the Dr Who theme tune ?
(Not that there's much wrong with what she did with it ..... )

Nice to see Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan there

But no Trevor Wishart

I think Buddy Holly was a musical great, but not really sure of the point of the BBC Wiltshire choice, really.
A theatre he played, that is already well known? is that really the best they can do?
oh well.....

Kevin Coyne is a more interesting choice, for example.

The only other piece I've heard broadcast by Tristram Cary was a suite from music he composed for "The Ladykillers". I have a cassette from a home-recorded reel-to-reel broadcast from 1967 of him being interviewed by Rawsthorne. It includes an excerpt from his setting of Mervyn Peake's poem "The Rhyme of the Flying Bomb" - a work of astonishing power. Cary deserves a programme of his own: I don't recall any recognition when he died 3 years ago.
