[Dixielandjazz] Super BBC Jazz & Popular Music Show now availble on the web

[John Petters]

Greetings folks,
I just had a call from my old pal, Paul Barnes informing me that his 
unique Saturday night show, 'Gold For Grown-ups',  broadcast in the 
Eastern region of the UK, is now available as a 'Listen Again' programme 
on the web.

There is no other show quite like this on the BBC today. Paul's musical 
policy covers jazz, big band, popular vocalists, some light music, but 
most importantly, it is music of the highest quality.
Notably absent are the likes of the Beatles, Celine Dion, Abba, and 
other fluff from the rock/pop era.

Barnsey also makes a point of playing new and current performers and was 
the first broadcaster in the UK to feature Diana Krall.

He even occasionally plays some of my CDs!

This week's show includes tributes to Vic Dickinson and Louis Armstrong 
and much more.

In an age when the BBC has dumbed itself almost out of existence as a 
broadcaster of quality popular music and jazz, this treasure of a show 
needs to be kept on the air.

So tune in and what's more let the Beeb know you are listening. Email 
contact with Paul is  at Paul.barnes at bbc.co.uk and with the the powers 
that be at the Beeb at norfolk at bbc.co.uk.

  Listen & enjoy!
