Radio 4 Saturday c 18:45

Was anyone perchance listening to Radio 4 at about quarter to seven this evening? There was a cover on of David Bowie's "Modern Love" which was fantastic but what caught my ear was that in introducing it, whoever the presenter was seemed to be saying that the band had some connection with Oxford Brookes University?

Did anyone hear any more of the intro (I was just hopping into the car and trying to get past the traffic heading to the local Papist burning ceremony so not really concentrating until the song itself caught my ear.

Ah - silly me - should have thought about looking on the web!

For a second in the car I thought I was on the wrong channel and had the Oxford student radio thing.

Thanks both.

Damn, it is tonight. And me on duty in halls not two hundred yard away. I would have liked to go hear her.

Radio 4's Listen Again feature tells me that it was The Last Town Chorus and the connection is that they are playing Brookes this evening (or whichever evening that Loose Ends was first broadcast).

The presenter also asserted that this version was "much improved" over the Bowie version. Dear me."

Will, thank goodness you beat me to it. I'd just found the Last Town Chorus website and seen that 'they' basically come from Brooklyn... so I thought Jock had misheard ...
