GOOD NEWS

Sundays at 8pm

Andy Guy

A weekly Christian programme with a difference has proved a popular feature of the Radio Starlion schedule for a number of years.

Presented by Andy Guy, Good News (7.45pm to 9pm on Sunday) is an interactive programme which aims to meet the spiritual needs of those in hospital who are unable to attend church.

Participation by patients is encouraged, and you are invited to telephone requests for prayer or music dedications by dialing *800 on the Patientline telephone (this call is free). Alternatively, you may call 0161-419 5690.

The programme features a selection of quality Christian music and songs, prayers, Bible readings, interviews and information, and is popular with patients and staff.

Folk Connections

Thursdays at 8pm

Jeanette Howlett

"Folk, Folk-Rock and Acoustic Music Tracks with Jeanette Howlett"

Tell people you're doing a folk programme and you've probably already lost most of them! Blur the edges a little and you might keep a few. That's my hope! Folk Connections offers each potential listener the chance to hear something they may not have automatically connected with folk, something they know and, especially, something they like.

So, within my shows you will hear tracks by: The Oyster Band, The Byrds, Ewan MacColl, Kirsty MacColl, Billy Bragg, The Pogues, Led Zeppelin, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, Roy Harper, Bert Jansch, Joni Mitchell, Shirley Collins, Fairport Convention, Tom Paxton, Vashti Bunyan, Dr Strangely Strange, Kate Rusby, John Martyn, Nick Drake ... and many more besides.

I'm not a folk purist - I love the blends, the collaborations ... the links. Besides, if I weren't sharing this with you, I'd still be doing it for my own amusement anyway!

So join me, won't you, as I journey through the realms of folk, folk-rock, folk-blues, alt country, acoustic music ... and you may just hear something you like."
