Spin Off - 1982 - Adrian Sherwood special (Steve Barker, BBC Radio Lancashire)

Big thanks for Jethro for finding this:

A rare recording of Spin Off from BBC Radio Blackburn (later BBC Radio Lancashire), featuring interview and music from Adrian Sherwood, presented by Steve Barker.

The interview dates from 1982-01-19, and the programme was broadcast a couple of weeks later, probably Tue 2nd February.

This is a fascinating piece of audio, I know of no other extant radio interviews with Adrian dating back to these very early days.

Recovered from 1/4" reel from Steve Barker's archive.

Greetings Music Lover

Many thank to Steve Urquhart for producing the new audio documentary exploring the life and work of BBC Radio Lancashire broadcaster and Wire contributor Steve Barker.
