Show 8 14/06/2008

I must have a deep-seated need to embarrass myself through the broadcasting of dodgy impressions. Having just about survived a live edition of Theme Time Radio Minute last week, on Saturday morning I stumbled upon the backing music used by the late Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, famous for saying "not 'arf" a lot on his Radio 1 (and later Radio 2) show Pick of the Pops, which he presented for an incredible 143 years.

Intending to demonstrate RaW Folk's broad coverage of folk music in its 399 minutes of airtime before Saturday's final show - and contemplating the prospect of a couple of hours editing together a montage to accompany an a-z rundown - I decided much time and effort could be saved by borrowing Fluff's Pick of the Pops chart countdown music. And having come so far, how could I not throw a quick "not 'arf" into the mix?

So Raw Folk's A to Z, co-presented by a mediocre Alan Freeman impression and a very mediocre Chris Jones, can be downloaded here [link expired].

Alright?

Right!
