BCB music shows web 1.0 and web 2.0

In the BUN era (see Untitled Noise 1 year on) our music shows’ individual websites and web 2.0 presence was the only way find out what we were all up to, and it was not easy to keep up to date with all shows.  In the SUN era this blog has brought things together nicely in a hub, but our original tentacles still spread healthily.  So I thought it would be a good idea to fill you in on what we have out there on the internet.   Here’s what I know of, starting with general BCB stuff, then working through the week (I may modify this entry if and when I get more information):

Andy Kershaw returns to the radio this autumn.I always used to say that without John Peel BCB might not exist, but latterly it was Andy Kershaw who carried the musical swing, before his much publicised problems.

RIP Walter Witter. Walter came to this country from Jamaica in 1968. He died recently, aged 70.

Many Bradfordians knew him when he ran the Britannia Social Club on Carlisle Road (aka the Sugar Cane after Walter’s earlier club on Salt Street). In the days when pubs shut at 10.30 or 11pm the Sugar Cane was an after-hours refuge, and Walter and his wife Nellie were always friendly, with a real mix of customers.

Walter did some great paintings of Jamaican life and people, and some of them were on show at the the Sugar Cane. I coveted them badly, especially after a few Red Stripes. Latterly he ran the Devonshire Arms on Thornton Road. His son, Junior Witter, is well-known in the boxing world and won a World Championship some years ago.
