The Geordie Hour
Listen to Gary Hogg's Geordie
Hour
3pm Sunday afternoons
on
Radio Tyneside
Also on
Radio Northumberland
6pm Sundays - repeated 6pm
Sat
(Unless it clashes with a Newcastle home game in
which case live commentary from the match takes priority and the
show is played in a later slot)
It's a light-hearted celebration of the mass of
talent we have here in the north East.
I'll be playing music and songs by local singers and bands as well
as material written by people from the area - or anything that has
the slightest link to the north-east.
So you can expect local heroes like Mark Knopfler, The Shadows, The
Animals, Lindisfarne in the pop bit - then you'll hear local Folk
legends like The Doonans, Johnny Handle and Pete Scott in the Folky
part.
There'll be a spot for new bands and performers who send me their
CDs or mp3s to play...and there's lots of them!! Jazz, 30's, Ballads
- you name it.
I'll also play a lot of old Geordie songs so you'll be hearing Denis
Weatherley, Owen Brannigan and more up to-date singers
performing old favourites like 'Wherever Ye Gan' and 'Keep Yer Feet
Still'
There'll be TV theme tunes, Film soundtracks that have a link to our
area and there'll occasionally be a 'Guess the Link' for some tracks that maybe
aren't quite as obvious.
Every week there'll be a fair bit of local comedy too including
funny songs and recitations. |

If you have any requests
or suggestions for tracks please drop me a line and I'll see what I
can do.
If you're a local band please get in touch too. It's an
easy-listening programme that goes out on a Sunday so there will be
restrictions regarding what I can play.
If you have an idea for the 'Guess The Link' spot - Maybe you know
something that other's don't - or there's a track that has any link
whatsoever then let me know.
It's just for fun. Oh, well go on then - you might win a CD!
