Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance

[Humphrey]

My last post tonight ! 
Does anyone remember a show on Radio 3 in the late 70's that was like a showcase of the latest rock releases ? I seem to recall that the presenter was a typical R3 presenter (very formal, well-spoken) and it lasted just 30 min or 1 hr. I remember a show where he focussed on the Tull album "Songs From The Wood", playing 3 tracks. I think he gave quite a bit of technical/muso comments about the music (ie no chance of the Sex Pistols) ...

If only you had done the Peel 400 Box, Haze (or Bill). The Vance rock show was far better in it's early days, simply because of variety (I'm listening to a Sparks song on the show now, totally "electronica", which John P maybe played, or certainly should have done). There was a lot of crossover between Peel and Vance in 78-81 ; sadly after 83-ish the Vance show declined a lot due to playlist narrow-mindedness eg too much US average-poor-quality metal and very little new-wave/other .... I suspect Tom was forced into it by a boss.

The tracks for the Friday Night Connection have been deliberately left to the very end just in case you want to play along.
