40 Years of the OGWT
« on: August 20, 2011, 13:28:11 PM »
The iconic music programme The Old Grey Whistle test started in 1971, BBC 2 is running a series of radio shows to celebrate the event, I thought we would have a "CBF Hommage" to the programme, which to people of a certain age will probably appreciate, I know the hours spent in front of the "telly" on a tuesday night listening to "whispering Bob" certainly helped to forge my personal musical taste !

Here are a few of my favourites, how about you [?]

Good call Tony, earlier this year we went to stay with my Bruv in Bangkok, he had this Whistle test double DVD and it became a tradition that we had to have a JD & coke and watch a track each night,

Sorry about the advert but.

Try the clip with Tim Buckley singing Dolphins, best part of OGWT ever ever, no debate except perhaps for the Wailers, no links I'm too idle.

Valleyboy you put me to shame. (Great clips tho eh?) However having been so kind to me and other members you have let yourself down with the Blondie bit, I'm with John Peel on this issue, I don't/didn't know what all the fuss was about so no pwoar here.
