Trafalgar Square, Nov 11th

I will, if I'm alert enough at 7am!    It will be on iPlayer too!      Yes, it's Aled Jones.

Yeah, iplayer's fine, but if SOMEONE can make a direct recording from FM the quality will of course be better. 

My MD is out of action at the moment.

Yes, I'll make sure I'm awake!

Dusty I cracked up when you said  "If war breaks out .. then they may not"  - We will have to remember that one as well! Hey is Mark turning into Harry Secombe? J

Here's evidence of howmuch effort and thought goes into BBC News 24.

 

(This guy is a taxi driver who just happened to be sitting there and they put him on air by mistake.)

I will probably drag my butt up to it.  Will definitely be able to get some pics but cant get any audio I'm afraid.

Good Morning Sunday  -  I have just finished listening to Mark's contribution on this programme and have recorded it so far.   It was a recorded interview from a few weeks ago and very short - nothing much we haven't heard before!   I am pretty irritated though, because Aled Jones played "Piper to the End" and then proceeded to talk all over the beautiful end solo!   Complete and utter disrespect for the artist and the song imo!   It will also be available to hear again on iPlayer.  (Mark's part is just after the 8am news).

BTW  I also looked at BBC Radio 2 playlist for the coming week and Mark's single doesn't appear on any of the playlists, A B or C!  The BBC, so far have given neither the album nor the single hardly any publicity as far as I can see!   Feeling quite disgruntled this morning!

I just got home and missed the live play, and I've checked the website, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_two?sort=dateavailable  it's not updated yet.   Sigh, why more and more young and sexy guys are getting more and more attraction while the masters of those authentic music origins are having less and less publicity.

Quote Val: " Feeling quite disgruntled this morning!  "

Sorry I didn't listen yet Allen but will do it tomorrow! I need to leave now, BUT .............I first need to give Val a BIG HUG and kisses and hope she will feel better again!   

Thank you for getting up so early Val and giving us the news!  Perhaps I listen to the wrong radio stations but I didn't hear a song of Mark's new CD yet!

Thanks Fieneke,  Over it now, it was a bit early in the morning for me!      I'm looking forward to hearing something from "Silence in the Square" on Wednesday.  Maybe someone will record it !

Does anybody knows which TV station has officially announced to film the event?

[dustyvalentino]

None, as far as I am aware.

[dustyvalentino]

Seeing as neither Sky or the BBC bothered to reply to my emails, I just emailed teh Royal British Legion to ask if it will be televised. Hopefully they are better organised than the BBC, who I pay for.

[allen]

Let's wait and see.   Hopefully you can get lucky this time.   By the way, the single has been released today.   Anyone got it yet?

I have emailed BBC radio 2 today to see why "Remembrance Day" isn't on their playlists.  I don't really expect a reply from them either.  They have been playing the Athlete's "Black Swan Song" from their "A" list for two weeks now, and I think all of the singles donating to the Poppy Appeal should be given the same recognition.
