Music Icons On Sky Arts

[andy-hughes]

Not being a Sky subscriber, I was really pleased when they put Sky Arts on Freeview, it gives me access to the Music Icons series.

What a disappointment!!!

Apart from John Aizelwood, a former colleague, who does have interesting things to say, the Sunday Times guy, the Radio Something girl, and the bloke with the horrible leather jacket are just so much dull noise.

And why have the programme makers dressed them all from the local Oxfam, with just an occasional change of shirt or jacket?

As for the narrator, he sounds like his voice is coming from a B movie horror film.

Given the large number of knowledgeable and well-dressed music journalists there are out there - is this really the best they can do?

Sky Arts showed a concert performance by the Who a couple of weeks ago. Townsend was angry and manic, looked like he would pick a fight with himself if no-one else bit. The classic line-up, superb.
