Recently on my holidays I have been listenting to some late night radio on BBC London. The Presenter Big George is a very good radio host. Well worth checking out. Between 12am - 6am. Here's a segment I found on you tube, which was nicely done.

Really...


Personally, I feel ( don't you love that get out clause ) it's rather like listening to a cement mixer with a loose brick in it


He churns & clanks his subjects, whilst huffing & blowing into the mike


All this, then an interlude of "musical cardboard" on 94.9FM



Thankfully I don't get to tune in unless I'm working late



Lastly, I bet he eats & talks at the same time ( to top it off )



Still, horses for courses



W**F

Not trying to say he doesn't. Define what you mean by rubbish music? Surely you don't listen to him because he might play music you approve of? It's a talk show. Why not email him and ask why he plays what he does? There is a reasonably large choice on the BBC London playlist. He also plays stuff sent in to him if he likes it. And he will often have the artist(s) in the studio if he likes them.

Jeez guys - why so defensive about BG?


I don't have to email him - I had a chat with him about it when I was in the studio. BBC London have a teeeny-tiny playlist (think Lifting by Lighthouse family and maybe about 3 other tracks that Radio Luxembourg would have thought safe in 1981) which they enforce on their presenters during certain hours of the day. He seemed about as happy with this as I did as a listener.


as for the guy himself he seems nice enough, and interesting to boot, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan


Is this so heinous?

    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
    • Yes, absolutely! in comparison to now, you are 100% correct!
