A contact has mentioned a few BBC radio shows that MK has been on in the past:
27 July 2009 BBC Radio 2 Joan Armatrading's Favourite Guitarists
15 September 2009 BBC Radio 4 Front Row - Mark Lawson talks to MK
13 Novemeber 2009 BBC Radio 5 Live Simon Mayo talks to MK about Get Lucky
I think they are mp3 standard. Are these of interest to AMIT people?
There are more programmes apparently but I haven't got details. Are there any particular BBC radio programmes that I ought to ask about?
Also, there are some programmes where other people talk about MK (Jon Allen and John McCusker, for example). Are these likely to be of interest.
I don't have the time at present to follow everything up, so pointers would help me.
Finally, there may even be some old BBC TV programmes but I'm not sure I have the wherewithal to manage these.

Absolutely, ask anything!

:D Yes, definitely, twm! Any show where MK is interviewed, or where people talk about MK! Thanks!!!

I will try, then.

They come as mp3 files, as I thought. I have no idea what I now have to do.
I can send an mp3 file as an attachment to an e-mail (as long as the file is not too big, I suppose). At least, I could try that.
At the moment, I'm listening to Part 1 of a 2011 programme about Chrus Barber, to which MK makes an early but brief contribution. But, as you would expect, it's mostly about jazz in Britain and, so far, jazz in Britain in the 1950s. I find it very interesting. There is a Part 2 apparently. I don't know if MK is in that but I'll try to get it, too.
There may now be a gap as I am quite busy today.

MK does re-appear before the end of that Chris Barber programme, so we're talking of 3 brief snippets only.
The recording starts before the programme begins and it cuts just before the programme ends. I guess the recording was made using a timer and that the programme ran a little late.
