Thanks DracoM. I really enjoyed the Bach at the end.

Over on Twitter, Les Pratt (of EMS fame), tweeted a selfie with Sir Edward Elgar...
Sadly, I don't think Ms. Alker mentioned Les Pratt as producer

Your man Eddie E, watching over me this afternoon to make sure I don’t mess up my first ever crack at producing a live @BBCRadio3 #ChoralEvensong at Worcester Cathedral @ThreeChoirs

I think the in-studio link person DID name him AFTER the live broadcast - or am I wrong?

I'll have to listen again - I could easily be wrong.

I didn't hear it. I listened to what I thought would be the end and was baffled as to what I was listening to. I turned out to be Michael Torke's Bright Blue so I wound back a bit further a got an R4 comedy trail. I wound back again and heard the end of the Bach, back announced by EA. I didn't catch any mention of the producer - but do they usually credit the off-air personnel?

Not usually, though for a big occasion like the King’s NL&C (when it’s invariably the senior producer, currently Ben Collingwood) they sometimes do.
