Like a little explosion of pattern finding! Chris Watson was in Cabaret Voltaire. How did I not know that? How could those two quite separate arcs of my life collide? I'll stop going on about it now. Anyway, there's a lovely podcast from Watson's record label here: http://www.touchradio.org.uk/ And there you go! Like a little explosion of pattern finding! Chris Watson was in Cabaret Voltaire.

He has numerous great recordings out on <a href="http://www.touchmusic.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">Touch</a>, is ex-Cabaret Voltaire and therefore a Sheffield legend too. Can totally recommend <a href="https://touchshop.org/index.php?cPath=9" rel="nofollow">Outside the Circle of Fire and Storm, amongst recent releases</a>. I'm immensely jealous of the ability to attend that workshop in London ... Chris Watson’s something of a legend in the world of field recordings and sound art - it’s great to see him here too.

Lots of Radio 4 programmes and personalities are sadly under-promoted. Nobody knows when a show is on or who was involved in making it. I'm going to post another edition of The Archive Hour later because it was done by Ray Gosling, speech radio legend (and because it's about shoes). I like to think that we'll reveal all sorts of speech radio heroes (unsung or otherwise) as we go along.
