Comments
"Thanks to modern technology (i.e. the Shazam app) I've identified a track that you have listed as ? in 27/11/1977. The unlisted instrumental at 44mins is The Kid by Andre Brasseur." Simon Croydon .
"A nice article by Ben Ricketts about Thameside TV, see CuriousBritishTelly" Thameside .
"Can't believe how professional these transmissions were. Great fun." Mike of Chalfont High Wycombe Listened in 70/80: Chalfont St Peter/Chalfont St Giles.
"Amazed this site exists and that you guys are still around. Bizarrely, still makes good listening. I have memories of short-notice meet-ups, based around Ealing Broadway, 1980 or '81." Dominic de Takats ST7 UK. Listened in 70/80: Southfields, London.
