This Week's Music for Grown-Ups on Radio/TV

Your exclusive listening/watching guide … thanks to compiler Mike Ollier:


Radio For Grown-Ups

Weds BBCR2 22.00 ~23.00
* Charles Hazlewood
Could be anything this week. BBC … blah blah … website … blah blah …

Fri BBCR6 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan: last week was Eyes.

Fri BBC3 22.30 ~ 23.30
* Jazz Library: Sonny Rollins (part 2 of 2)

Fri BBC3 23.30 ~ 01.00
* Jazz On 3
Bassist Simon H Fell, live from Huddersfield.


TV For Grown-Ups

Mon C4 23.50 ~ 00.20
* Led Zeppelin: Live at Madison Square Garden 1973
Couldn't get a ticket for tonight's O2 gig? Then here's a (measly) half hour of Zep in their pomp ~ Black Dog and Since I've Been Loving You amongst the highlights: though by my reckoning that's 30mins gone, when you take into account the adverts. However, anyone who really likes Zep will have seen this stuff anyway.

Fri BBC4 19.30 ~ 21.00
* Gergiev Conducts Three 20th Century Greats (2 of 3)
Second of three concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Fri BBC4 21.00 ~ 22.30
* If It Ain't Stiff
A repeat of the watchable doc on Stiff records.


I take back what I said about last week's TV … and the radio is crap this week, too.
