Hello again, this is Bill Everatt, with news about the Sunday January 27^th Underground Edition.

Andy John will be taking a look at more Gobbledegook in our new weekly feature called The Golden Bullocks Awards.  I’m going to be talking to the band Avalon Way.

Our Urban Legend this week is The Echo of A Crime by Jessie Adelaide Middleton, read for us by John Grierson.

Also who said this?  “They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.”

Plus we’ve also got some great new music and information on the artists from amongst others Garth Adam, Andrew McFayden, Tyrone Marshall, Leoni, The Blue Horses and EJ Ouellette & Crazy Maggy.

Hello again, this is Bill Everatt with news of the latest update of the Underground Edition.

As was mentioned in a previous post, Andy John is back in his regular slot taking a look at more Gobbledegook in our new weekly feature called The Golden Bullocks Awards.

I’m also going to be talking to T’erese, a London based Soul/ Pop artist, and we’ll be hearing some of her music from her great new album.

Our Urban Legend this week is “The Reconciliation” By Lafcadio Hearn.

Who said this?  “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”

Plus we’ve also got some great new music and information on the artists from amongst others The Searchers, Waterson, Sora, DAZZ, Mischievious Tremor and in a moment The Four Kings.

I was asked yesterday, “What is a good marriage?” A good marriage is one that allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way that they express their love.

Peter Ustinov once said, “Marriage is like a three speed gearbox: affection, friendship and love.” What is he implying here? Simply that it’s not advisable to crash your gears and go through to love straight away. You need to ease your way through. The basis of love is respect, and that needs to be learnt from affection and friendship.

Have a good day.

Hello again. Andrew John here. Hello? Anybody there? Oh, there you are!

I’ve been off the airwaves (should that be linewaves?) for a while, apart from the odd story for Celtica, but I’m rejoining Bill Everatt’s Underground Edition this coming Sunday, 20 January, to talk a bit about crap English. You know the sort: gobbledegook.

It was Bill’s idea. He stumbled (he’s always stumbling – it’s too many wine gums) across a website with some special awards for mangled English – but you’ve got to hear it to believe it.

So somewhere in Bill’s show there’ll be a two-minute (or so) slot while I bring you some of the best (or worst, depending on your point of view) of these, and I’ll be trying to outdo them with a bit of gobbledegook of my own – except that mine isn’t as polite as theirs tries to be.

So, incline your auditory modality organs in the approximate direction of the electro-acoustic transducers attached to your computational device during that specific temporal eventuality, and let’s see if we can take the piss out of the crap (if you see what I mean).

See you there next week.

Hi this is Keith Berry-Davies, and I’ll be bringing you regular pauses for thought on the Celtica Radio Blog.

So, stand by!
