Hi,
On the programme tomorrow night I will be joined in the studio by an exciting "Blues Yoof" called Johnny Boy James.

He is an amazing writer, singer and harmonica player so it should be a great show.

He will also be playing tracks that demonstrate the importance of the harmonica inso many different styles of music and telling us why he has been inspired to become a rough and ready blues musician.
(For rough and ready blues musician read "skint")

Burning Ice sets out to be a ‘different’ documentary about climate change. Following several celebrities and various artists and designers as they travel to Greenland to discover the effects of global warming and to take home inspiration to include in their work.

Billed as a ‘political thriller’ this film is one of Edinburgh Festival’s world premieres.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to talk to animals? Your dog, cat or hamster may not be a great conversationalist but what if you could teach them sign language?

Last weeks Know It Or Not challenge was an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for eating the most Jaffa Cakes in 60s.

As you probably know by now Arlene has decided to hang up her headphones and move on.

She will be sadly missed by me and all our regular listeners I'm sure, but life goes on and I plan to continue presenting the Saturday Afternoon Show 1-4pm every alternative Saturday.

However I am on the look out for a new Co presenter / producer...are you up for the challenge?

Drop me an email to derekandarlene@hotmail.co.uk if you are.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

Derek
