Happy New Year

Happy new year everyone :)

This is just a quick blog from me to update you on the first shows of the new year.

The new-look (sort of) Mix and Match with Mumby will begin at 1pm on Thursday 6th January.

However, my first appearance of the new year on The Movie Hour will be Saturday 15th, when Paul and I shall be discussing Into The Night and looking ahead to the big releases of 2011.

More details coming soon...

Posada Photos

Apologies for the delay in putting these up - I've just got a new computer and am still transferring everything across!
For my last show of the year, on December 16th, we were joined in the studio by a couple of ceramic Posada figures, being made as part of the Spitak Project in Armenia.
The figures were touring Alnwick's shops and businesses to subtly remind people of the true meaning of Christmas. We were joined in the studio by Philip Angier from Christians Together in Alnwick, who was managing the project.
See you in the New Year :)

The Last Show of the Year (with Special Guest!)

This week is my last show before Christmas. That's right, I'm taking two weeks off for a well-deserved break with family and friends. Never fear, though, I will be back on January 6th.

So that we go out on a bang rather than a snowy whimper, this week's show is going to be a bit special. I'll be joined in the studio by Philip Angier from Christians Together in Alnwick, to talk about the Posada project featuring these figurines:There'll be some festive music with an esoteric twist, as I play some songs which have a faint connection with Christmas - because let's face it, hearing Slade and Wizard every year can be tiresome.

I'll also be giving you a double dose of film recommendations, and there'll be the last ever editions of Cover of the Week and Classic Albums (last chance to get those sweets).

Mix and Match with Mumby will be back in January with brand new features and hopefully a good new batch of guests. Hope you can join me.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)Daniel x

NO SHOW - AGAIN

Sorry if I got your hopes up with promise of a Saturday show, but I've been forced to call that off too because of this confounded weather. Like many of you I'm under a foot of snow and am therefore keeping journeys, both on foot and on road, to an absolute minimum.

Rest assured, as soon as things improve I will be back on the air, both on my own and with Paul Young. Until then just bear with me, and I will let you know how things look for this coming Thursday.

Stay warm,

NO SHOW THIS WEEK

Due to the adverse weather conditions (if you haven't noticed the snow, where have you been?), I can't get to my show today and so there will not be a show.

I hope to bring you a 'make-up' show this Saturday from 10am to 12pm. And when I say 'make-up', I mean making up for today's cancellation, not a whole two-hour programme about mascara.

If Saturday goes ahead as planned (i.e. if I don't get properly snowed in) there will be an exclusive premiere of a two-part drama recorded by myself and some friends earlier in the year.

Hope you (and I) can be there on Saturday. Enjoy the snow while it lasts.

Branching Out

Just a quick announcement to say I'll soon be coming to your in much smaller doses on a Saturday morning.

Paul Young, who broadcasts from 9am to 12pm every Saturday, is increasing his coverage of all things film-related. I shall be presenting a section of cult films and perhaps helping him out with the Box Office Top 10.

The first film I'll be examining is The Bed-Sitting Room, an incredibly odd post-apocalypse tale of hardship, from the pen of Spike Milligan and the director of Superman II and III.

If you want to take an advanced gander at my thoughts, you can check out my review at http://threemenonablog.blogspot.com/2010/10/film-review-bed-sitting-room-1969.html. All my other reviews are up there as well.

I'll be on the programme from 10am and we'll see how things pan out. Talk to you then :)

This Week's Guest

This week I'll be joined on the programme by James Etherington, who works for the Bailiffgate Museum.

Mr. Etherington will be on the programme from 2:15pm to talk about the auction taking place at the Museum on November 5th starting at 5:30pm.

Hope you can join me then :)

More great guests

It's been a while, so we thought we'd have a couple.

First off, on Thursday 21st October, we'll be talking to Sheila Steaful, acclaimed actress and ex-wife of the late great Harry H. Corbett of Steptoe and Son fame. She'll be promoting her new autobiography, When Harry Met Sheila and talking about her illustrious career, including (hopefully) her work with Pete and Dud on Not Only... But Also....Then, fingers crossed, we'll be joined the following week (i.e. the 28th) by Martin Allenby, English teacher at the Duchess' Community High School in Alnwick and director of their upcoming production of Death of a Salesman. Allenby previously helmed Dracula, one of the best plays of last year, so this should really be something.
There will be more information on forthcoming attractions on this week's show, so don't forget to tune in this Thursday from 1pm. Thank you!

Another Little Update to Ye Olde Halle of Fayme

I've gotten behind in just about everything to do with this show - photos, interviews, updates, the lot. My profuse apologies. Here's an update of my Hall of Fame to partially rectify things.
Living legend Chas Hodges spoke to us down the line on August 26th. We spoke about his new book, Chas' Rock and Roll Allotment, and the ongoing plans for a Chas'n'Dave farewell tour.On the same day, we were joined in the studio by three-quarters of The Deadly Pineapples (l-r: Liam Nichol, Andrew Craig, Andrew Cheyne). They were in to promote their new album, Bad News For The Optimists.Most recently, on September 23rd, we were joined for half an hour by Angelina Danskin, who read some of her poetry and an exclusive extract from her new book, The Tales of Picklenob. Watch this space for competition news on that front...

See you next Thursday :)

A Gaggle of Guests on Next Week's Show

It's been a while since we had a guest on - so next week we've got five.

In the first hour, we'll be joined on the phone by Chas Hodges, one half of legendary pub rockers Chas'n'Dave. He'll be talking about his new book, Chas and His Rock'n'Roll Allotment, in which he seeks to prove that gardening and growing vegetables needn't be a chore.

Tune in to listen to the great man and stand a chance of winning a copy of the book courtesy of Apex Publishing. With a bit of luck, we'll also get some information about the Chas'n'Dave Farewell Tour taking place in 2011.

Then later on in the show we'll have The Deadly Pineapples in the studio. This budding four-piece from Alnwick and Warkworth have just finished recording their debut album; there'll be a exclusive preview of a couple of tracks and much rock-related banter.

So tune in next Thursday from 1pm for great music and even more great guests!
