I really want to show my GCSE music students the first 15 mins of Texas - it’s a brill example of simple songwriting (I Don’t Want A Lover). 
Plus, I get to listen to Texas while I teach
Is this going to be available on the internet to show in class?
Thanks

These are truly great, well crafted programmes.  A real change from everything else on the telly.  A sincere well done to all involved.

Series 3 was excellent yet again, can’t believe it’s over for another term. Suggestions for series 4, James Skelly from The Coral, Guy Chambers, Richard Ashcroft, Graham Gouldman and/or Eric Stewart from 10cc and as a special programme, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys.

has series 2 been on again?  i don’t have sky, and would have watched on the skyplayer if i’d known.... i really wanted to see the Albert Hammond programme. it’s so good to see him talking and playing excerpts of songs he wrote for others (clips are on his website), and his own 20 or so albums are very under-rated, even if some are in spanish and/or quite dated

Really enjoy this programme - any news on Mark Knopfler or Jon Bon Jovi (sorry, I quite like his American drawl!!) doing a show?

What a brilliant show. The warm interviewing style really brings out amazing insight, and obviously inspires the wonderful performances. So nice to see an interviewer who really knows his subject, and actually listens to his subjects. Love it!

Is The Feeling one going to be repeated? I missed half of it and it wasn’t on SkyPlayer and I really want to see the rest of it!

Just watched Squeeze amused by the quivering leg like a dog . Makes me think of the recent volkswagon advert of the dog singing ‘I’m a man ‘. How’s about these of their classic albums . Ray Davies really opened up .The Band one was excellent . In those days vodeos did not exist

Randy Newman
Tom Waits
Ry Cooder
Jackson Browne
Willie Dixon
John Prine
Leonard Cohen
Lou Reed
Captain Beefheart
Buffy Sainte Marie
ZZ Top
Elkie Brooks
Paul Brady
Van Morrison
Dr John with full orchestra

Just watched Kelly Jones at Hay Festival, fantastic, the songs sound better than the full band versions. Great musician, singer, songs & programme.

I would recommend Neil Young, The Eagles, CSN, Sting, James Taylor, Jim Kerr, Richard Ashcroft, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Mcartney, David Bowie, Paul Buchanan...some great songs from these artists

I think Billy Bragg would be an excellent choice for this programme, a superb songwriter and a great acoustic performer!

Don McLean Songbook
The questions asked weren’t perceptive enough. When you have the great Don McLean sitting there, willing to talk about his music, don’t ask how he got started in the business, that’s easily discovered elsewhere. Ask about his chord progressions, or his melodic structure. At times, the questions were like the ones children would ask. The show is called “Songbook” not “Let’s find out a few things about”. In part, a wasted opportunity to discover more about McLean’s intriguingly original music.

Mark Knopfler and James Taylor for sure. This program was made for them.
