Many thanks for the updated info.

Thanks for this info will be making a date in my diary, too often I miss these things - hoping that being forewarned by tips from this forum will change that.

Thanks for the original heads up Rosemary, and other members for the follow up info. One of the great uses of this Shads site!

Hi John and everyone who followed up
I just noticed this
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014kcly
which is unavailable (but maybe just to me because I'm in Australia)
It was apparently broadcast 13th September.
Was this the same radio special? Did anyone have a chance to listen?
Best wishes
Rosemary

I think BBC radio on the iPlayer is generally available at home and overseas for just a week. It's TV that's restricted to U.K. only viewing.

HI Rosemary

This is an old 1983 repeat by Alexis Korner so it looks like a different programme

Quite right.

"Guitar Greats" was a 1983 Radio 1 series, which profiled several guitarists over several weeks and was introduced by the late Alexis Korner. I still have cassette recordings of the editions featuring Hank and Jeff Beck.

The series itself was a spin off from a 1980 one-off BBC Radio programme played out on August Bank Holiday (guess who has a copy on cassette?). It was called "It Was In Tune When I Bought It" and it contained interviews with Hank and Pete Townsend of The Who.

Thanks Martin, Bob and Jim
If the new one is still scheduled for early October (maybe 11th October as mentioned by John) that's only a couple of weeks away now so we can look out for it.
Best wishes
