Our new combined Festival will see Music and Classical Guitar sharing the same weekend at last, we are moving to a new amazing venue and we will be launching a new Dance Section too! All Music will now take place over one weekend. For many years most of Music took place in the summer with Classical Guitar in the autumn. But from 2020 onwards all of our music classes will be on the same musical weekend. This year RWBAF will move venues to The Deanery in Wichelstowe, just 5 miles and a 10 minute drive from Royal Wootton Bassett. We have enjoyed many years at the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy but, in order to secure our venue for the future we have decided to make this move. If you would like to find out more about this wonderful venue follow this link: The Deanery CE Academy. Following the successful launch of the Musical Theatre classes in 2019 we are now launching a new Dance Section in 2020. There are new classes in Ballet, Song and Dance, Tap, Modern, Character and much more; plus, you can enter a solo, duo, trio/quartet or group. So, whether

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history

  • 39 SUMMARY This Is a Summary of My Report. Fuller Analysis And
    SUMMARY This is a summary of my Report. Fuller analysis and examples supporting my views are found in each chapter of the Report. SETTING UP THE REVIEW: THE TERMS OF REFERENCE (CHAPTER 1) 1. In early October 2012, the country was deeply shocked about revelations that Sir James Savile, the well-known and well-loved television personality and charity fundraiser had in fact been a prolific sex offender. Some of his offences were said to have taken place in connection with his work for the BBC. Later that month, I was invited by the BBC to investigate Savile’s sexual misconduct and the BBC’s awareness of it. The Review’s Terms of Reference (as amended) are that I should: receive evidence from those people who allege inappropriate sexual conduct by Jimmy Savile in connection with his work for the BBC, and from others who claim to have raised concerns about Jimmy Savile’s activities (whether formally or informally) within the BBC; (PART 1) investigate the extent to which BBC personnel were or ought to have been aware of inappropriate sexual conduct by Jimmy Savile in connection with his work for the BBC, and consider whether the culture and practices within the BBC during the years of Jimmy Savile’s employment enabled inappropriate sexual abuse to continue unchecked; (PART 2) in the light of findings of fact in respect of the above, identify the lessons to be learned from the evidence uncovered by the Review; (PART 3) 39 as necessary, take into account the findings of Dame Linda Dobbs in her investigation into the activities of Stuart Hall.

  • Read the Full Extract
    Downloaded from simongarfield.com © Simon Garfield 2005 John Peel Unplugged John Peel died suddenly on holiday in Peru at the age of 65. These are a few of the things he had to say. Six years ago I conducted a series of interviews with John Peel at Radio 1 and in the wine bar nearby. It wasn’t difficult work: I turned on the tape-recorder and sat back, and after ten minutes of mild suspicion and Rioja he hit a groove of sad and funny stories that brought tears to his eyes and mine, and all I could do was hope the batteries were fresh. My memory of him is of a hugely sensitive man who cared very much about his music and his family, but also about how he was regarded by others. A magazine interview he had given some months before had been very harsh on him, questioning whether he genuinely liked most of the records he played, and Peel had been terribly hurt by it. Looking back, it is significant how often in our conversations he considered his standing among his peers, and how much he relished his reputation as a pariah within the corporation. This was a role he found useful to foster, but in truth he was a shy and quiet man, prone to internalising his anger. And he was immensely loyal; he knew that he could only function in public service broadcasting, and in time he became its best advertisement. I had first met him eighteen years earlier when he provided the narration for a radio documentary I had written.

  • She Got the Wrong End of the Stick, but the Stick Still Existed
    She got the wrong end of the stick, but the stick still existed. ‘Winds of the world, give answer! They are whimpering to and fro - And what should they know of England Who only England know?' -The English Flag, Rudyard Kipling. The previous century started, arguably, not on New Year’s Day 1900 but 22 January 1901 when Queen Victoria, the personification of an age, died in the arms of her grandson, the Kaiser. Thus, as far as I’m concerned, 2013 left a mordant runway with the demise of Reg Presley on the 4th of February. Long before I was appointed official biography of The Troggs (Rock’s Wild Things: The Troggs Files [Helter Skelter, 2000] with Jacqueline Ryan), I entered Reg’s orbit in October 1985 at an extravaganza entitled Heroes And Villains at London's Dominion Theatre, perhaps the most pivotal event to nudge the 1960s revival out of neutral. It had, however, been long underway when I reeled into Dave Berry's dressing room in a flustered state after sunset had found me on the M4's hard shoulder, howling at the moon because of an overcharging alternator of a vehicle about one oil change away from the breaker’s yard. A sympathetic Dave steered me into licensed premises where Ronnie Bond, The Troggs’ drummer, was holding court. As a result, my recollections of the next few hours are now necessarily vague, but when roaming the backstage wastes of the Dominion, I passed a dozen famous faces along a single staircase; stood in the wings beside some stout cove who strode onstage to metamorphose into Chris Farlowe - and exchanged platitudes with a preoccupied Reg Presley.

  • Classic Radio 1 Schedules (1967-2004)
    Frequency Finder UK (www.frequencyfinder.org.uk) Classic Radio 1 Schedules (1967-2004) October 1967 In the early years, Radio 1 was very different. It was originally conceived as a general popular music network, broadcasting easy listening, jazz, folk and country as well as pop and rock music. The intention was that it would opt out of the Light Programme with music when the Light was carrying a speech programme. This was largely the pattern in the first few years, with a lot of sharing between Radios 1 and 2, though the two stations did carry separate music programmes at breakfast and late afternoon. The daytime schedules didn't fully separate until the 1970s. Another feature of the early schedule is that many programmes featured different presenters on different days or in different weeks. A lot of the presenters floated between several shows. Saturday Monday to Friday 05:30 As Radio 2 05:30 As Radio 2 07:00 Tony Blackburn 07:00 Tony Blackburn 08:30 Junior Choice with Leslie Crowther (also on R2) 08:30 Family Choice with a guest presenter (also on R2) 10:00 Saturday Club with Keith Skues 10:00 Jimmy Young (also on R2 until 11:00) 12:00 Emperor Rosko 12:00 Midday Spin with Simon Dee (Mon), Duncan 13:00 Jack Jackson (also on R2) Johnson (Tue), Kenny Everett (Wed), David Rider 14:00 Chris Denning (also on R2) (Thur) and Stuart Henry (Fri) (also on R2) 15:00 Pete Murray (also on R2) 13:00 (Mon) Dave Cash - Live Music 16:00 Pete Brady (also on R2) 13:00 (Tue) Keith Fordyce - Live Music 17:30 Country Meets Folk with Wally Whyton (also on 13:00 (Wed) Bob Miller and The Millermen with R2) Parade of the Pops - Live orchestral pop 18:30 Scene and Heard - magazine with Johnny Moran 13:00 (Thur) Pop North with the Northern Dance 19:30 As Radio 2 Orchestra 22:00 Pete Murray (easy listening, also on R2) 13:00 (Fri) The Joe Loss Show - Live orchestral pop 00:00-02:00 Night Ride with Sean Kelly (easy listening, 14:00 Pete Brady (also on R2 15:00-16:15) also on R2) 16:30 What's New 17:30 David Symonds Sunday 19:30 As Radio 2 except..
