Could go in the streaming or RT/LT Threads but as series has gone uncommented upon, think this is worth its own thread.
While the first one has gone, the good news is there are two more coming up –
First on Sun 27/9 is mainly Fairport-era stuff
Second on Sun 11/10 is an all request show
US$20 each or US$30 for the two

Asking for a friend…..
Are these streams that dry up and disappear after the 48hour availability or are they amenable to the sort of programmes that can convert video to mp3. If, of course, such sorcery existed.
No idea if the video can be captured, but surely Audacity will capture the sound.
I’m imagining there might be an app for your PC with some daft name like 4K Video Downloader which might do exactly that.
**Gazes into distance. Whistles.**
As far as I can see they’re up for 48 hours.
No idea if you can record audio or audio/video.
RT says whole idea is to make it as close to a gig as possible. If you like, I can come over to your house and stand in front of the computer/telly while holding my phone and talking very loudly through the quieter songs
LOL – can you spill beer on me multiple times as you return from the fridge?
Only if I can bring my missus along to your house and wrongly accuse you of trying to chat her up while I was away after I get back
To think, lockdown has deprived millions of these joys. Millions!
Shut it, mate, I’m trying to listen to the Richard Thompson tribute band!
This is the one I want to hear.
When I’m Prime Minister
(Richard Thompson)
Mister, mister, mister, I’m just an urchin lad
Me sentiments are noble, it’s me manners that are bad
When I tried to do you favours and your shover runs me down
Don’t expect me to forget you when my turn comes around
Ch: When I’m Prime Minister
And official duty calls
I’ll have me heavy ????
When I kick you in the balls
I’ll screw your daughter, fuck your wife
And when I’m through with her
You’ll wish you’d never tangled
With the next Prime Minister
Mister, mister, mister, I’m a reasonable lout
Don’t push me out the window when you want me to get out
I’m a simple-minded fellow, so don’t hand me rubber cheques
Or I’ll become a politician just to break your neck
Ch:
Mister, mister, mister, you’re treading on thin ice
Upset me and the consequences won’t be very nice
You think you’re such a big man but you’ll feel very small
When I have sixty million people at my back and call.
Ch:
I’m fascinated to know what kind of audience numbers this sort of thing is getting. Anyone here pay to watch the first one?
