A Hundred Years from Today
Part One
Born 100 years ago this week, Jack Teagarden was the first truly great jazz trombone soloist whose unorthodox technique and astonishing virtuosity quickly established him as a true jazz legend.
In the 1920s Jack played and sang in his lazy Texan drawl with everyone who was anyone: Red Nichols, Benny Goodman, Eddie Condon and Louis Armstrong, before joining Paul Whiteman as the star soloist for five years in the 1930s. Alongside archival interviews with Jack and Charlie Teagarden, Geoffrey Smith is joined by trombonists Roy Williams and Scott Stroman to look at Jack's early work and examine what made up that unique sound.

God Can See Down Entries
By Linda Brogan.
Josie is married to Brian - entrepreneurial, hedonistic and ambitious, they sell drugs for Brian's best friend Francis in Manchester's Moss Side. Josie and Francis are also best friends, poised forever on the brink of becoming lovers. As allegiances go into freefall, the most primitive desires surface.
Spanning 30 years, this is an impressionistic, poetic journey of three people locked in a downward spiral.
Josie ...... Rachel Davies
Brian ...... Neil Dudgeon
Francis ...... Lorcan Cranitch
