WOOO HOOO finally some live Robben on the Radio in the UK! Very Happy

I second the last post, if it is Paul Jones, he has a very good Blues Show on Radio 2 and often has guests 'live' in the Studio.

Definitiely one NOT to miss!

PS: Hope to see some list members at the Jazz Cafe in a week or so!

Chateau Margaux? Really? I think I stayed there when I was 17...I stayed at the Chateau d'Artigny too...did you already know that?

I think you should be able to connect to the BBC website and download the 'live radio player' software, and set it up ok. They also do 'repeats of shows for a about a week or so afterwards.

I will be recording the show (if my memory doesnt pack up before it plays!!), so if you miss it you can email me and I will create a CDR copy

Its a big moment here as its the first time EVER to my knowledge that RF has been on UK Radio, although ALL of the Guitar mags regularly feature articles and song transcriptions etc - go figure!

Therefore what I am really saying - its such a big event for us that it would be very stupid to miss the chance to get a recording of the programme session, so dont worry if you cannot hear the broadcast in the new year!

As mentioned earlier in this thread, it would be great to see Robben on a programme like Later with Jools Holland, I'm sure it would be a winner....

Anyone got any clout with aforementioned Mr. Holland Wink

Daved, can you tell us if the BBC recording was an acoustic or electric session?

If it ends up on Paul Jones Show
you would eventually be able to hear the Paul Jones Show here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/jones/

The previous shows are archived.
I notice that this week's show has Robben's "Homework" from Keep on Runnin' on the playlist... Don't see any mention of Robben's Manchester show..
