I thought the following story was a wind-up when I first heard. So I googled it:


The Independent

GB News to launch 'all-British' radio station - The Independent
4 hours ago ... GB News to launch 'all-British' radio station – playing only British music · The station will host shows including 'The Great British Drive Home' ...

They'll end up with the same problems as Canadian radio. There was a time when a large number of Bryan Adams' songs were ineligible.
They'll run out of songs written, played, recorded, produced, mixed etc, etc, all by Brits in Britain.

So no Handel, no Samuel Coleridge Taylor. Holst is a bit suspicious, with a name like that.

Definitely no Ireland either. Unless his ancestry was Northern.

And Delius?

Born in Bradford.

His music sounds suspicious.

They'll be ok with that Benjamin Britain chap.

German parents. Came across the Channel in a boat (after he'd trained in Paris). Influenced by Afro-Caribbean music in Florida. Not sure if he really passes the purity test.

Wait till they find out he was gay and a pacifist.

Any station that won't play Christmas Rapping, with the world's greatest bassline by Tracy Wormworth, is on to a loser.

Careful ... no disrespect to Ms Wormworth (I shall never forget that name now I've seen it!!!), but a station that promises No Christmas Songs would be VERY popular.

The only person Trump ever hired who was actually qualified to do their job was Stormy Daniels.

I'm sure the patriots could have no issue with this prolific composer.

Performances & recordings of that were rare enough at one stage that I remember recording it onto 'compact cassette' from Radio 3 in about 1978, as you couldn't get it on LP. (Ha, I have to do a short 'history of broadcasting and of recording media' to pupils if I tell them something like this.)
