Radio Sessions

Hi to all!

I can't find a complete list of Bill's radio sessions anywhere - though the Be Bop ones were easily discovered.

I don't think the following is complete but I thought someone should make an attempt. Please fill the gaps somebody.

I can't find any evidence that Bill has ever recorded sessions for any other radio stations than BBC1 Radio 1 and the old BBC Radio 5 (mid-90s version). Is this true? Are there sessions from the USA?

Anyway, here's the start of a list. Dates are mostly dates of recording - but some may be the broadcast dates - not sure really.

Wow!

Bill appeared on BBC Radio Scotland 'Original Masters' on 5 May 1995 - as well as an extensive interview with Bill by John Kavanagh, where Bill talked about some of his favourite musical selections, he also played three tracks live - 'Moon Rocket Highway' (which wasn't released until many years later on 'Luxury Lodge'), 'Gloria Mundae' and the never released (as far as I recall) 'Birdland'.


Another one I have - he was also interviewed on BBC Radio 1' s 'Saturday Live' on 26 January 1985, an interview about and with selections from 'Trial By Intimacy' - just playback from the album though, nothing played live.
