[Edgy 2]

I haven't listened to Radio 3 pre noon for a long time,not sure I'll be giving it another go anytime soon.

Thought it was Bacup! ...and ‘ave less of the ‘Midlands’ cheek! Anywhere north of the Trent and of where the Pennines start is North!

Cloughers I have told you this before, because of your keen interest ......” As kit sponsors of local football team Bacup Borough FC, Wynsors were delighted to hear that BBC 6 Music news journalist, Elizabeth Alker, had been appointed Honorary President at the club.“

I have a vague sense of being to blame for the wholesale derailment of this thread, due to my “Nescafé” reference....

No apology necessary - I now have a further bunch of fascinating facts to inflict on my friends at our Thursday morning socials.

Guilty as charged and a repeat offender to boot .........

Far from sure about the overall programme but I’m certainly interested to hear what Rattle makes of VW5.

.

Afterthought: I can’t recall any earlier instance of him conducting VW...

I’m sure I’ll be corrected and would welcome knowing about any previous excursions

......................

He certainly has conducted RVW rarely but I have the following:

Flos Campi London Sinfonietta RFH 15.3.83
Hodie BBC Scottish SO 28.12.77
Symphony No 5 'Towards the Millennium' CBSO 8.3.95
On Wenlock Edge Robert Tear, CBSO Ludlow May 1996
Tallis Fantasia Berlin PO Prague 2012

[cloughie]

And Darren Gough,former cricketer and now Tottenham supporting Talk Sport presenter

He’s had his lapses like playing for Essex, but seeing the error of his ways - Wiki has him as a Barnsley supporter but maybe needs the street cred of supporting a Prem team.

His recording of On Wenlock Edge I remember as superb, though i eventually decided the chamber version was much to be preferred, so haven't listened to it in a while.

He seems to support about half a dozen teams
