Radio 4 series about bassists. Really?????????

[Panamonte]

Apparently Mark King and Yolanda Charles were both in Broadcasting House (down in that London) last week, recording interviews (and playing a bit of bass) for a forthcoming series on Radio 4 about bass players and all things bass. I know it sounds highly unlikely, but my source is the in-house engineer who was riding the faders during said interviews. I will pump him for more information next week and keep you posted...

I love Radio 4 and I love bass, so this sounds promising!

One's heart bleeds. It's really tough for some folk isn't it?

Possibly - our baby was born prematurely here

The airline won't let us fly home - trapped as I said.

[BassBus]

You have internet connection? iPlayer dear boy.

Congratulations on the baby.

Oh WOW!! Congratulations! But what a pain not being able to fly. I'm sure it soon stops feeling like a holiday.

Doesn't work in America. Copyright and all that.

I hope this does actually happen, And maybe Martha Kearney will be presenting the programme. Win-Win!

From the BBC.com website:

Can I listen from outside the UK?

You can listen to Radio 4 online anywhere in the world however there are some types of content where we are restricted from distributing overseas, usually because of sports rights. If this is the case then the live and on demand stream will be blocked to international audiences for the duration of that segment. International audiences will hear a message informing them of the rights restrictions in place.

You shouldn't have any difficulty [i]listening[/i] to iPlayer outside the UK - except in rare cases mentioned above by BassBus. TV is a different matter but I listen to R4 for hours every day from central Europe without problems.

Congrats on the birth by the way!

Ah right, my mistake . I was assuming that because the t.v shows are blocked in the USA, the radio would be too. .

Yep, though catching up with the The Archers omnibus in the Carribean is a bit surreal.

Congrats on the birth though . . . Does that give the little'un dual nationality?

[Geek99]

Yep

There is an IATA rule on flying prems

Flag carrier airlines aren't so tightly bound so hopefully BA will fly us



I couldn't get iplayer to work in us
