Title: Richard Thompson on Radio 6 Classic Concert overnight Friday / Saturday
Post by: Graham B on April 14, 2011, 12:02:14 PM
A Richard Thompson concert form Kentish Town & Country Club in 1991 is scheduled for the BBC Radio 6 program Classic Concert on Saturday morning 16 April 2011 at 2am. It should be worth staying up late for on Friday night, or setting your timer to record it.

This should include lots of songs from what was his latest release at the time "Rumor and  Sigh".

This was scheduled to be on the show a couple of months ago but was changed at the last moment.

Better luck this time.

Thanks for the heads-up!

6-music Classic Concerts are usually put on the i-Player too:

(Latest one is Blondie from 1979 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zwjjc/6_Music_Classic_Concert_Blondie/) if anyone's interested...)

Cheers

Nick

Lets hope they don't cancel it for Radiohead like last time! :)

Yes, wow, it includes Mother Knows Best.  Would love to see him perform that one with the electric band.
