Support for the Fall was provided by Papa T who toasts over at least "Sensual" and perhaps "North East Trade Winds" by Elektro Robotic Dub Orchestra from the album "Strictly Automatic".

BBC Radio Lancashire staff engineer George Tatler, OTW engineer Michael Martin were in attendence, along with "Andrew" and "Pete".

The event was co-arranged with the assistance of Ribble Valley Borough Council.

The Fall were mixed by Ray Conroy.

Steve's original running order/playlist is reproduced below; this one is particularly interesting because of the additional explicit annotations for disc playing speed (33 or 45 rpm), the location of the track on the disc, and how the track ends ("fades", "hard").  This indicates this was written out by Steve for the benefit of whoever was manning the desk back at the studio.  Steve does not recall who it was, but was likely to have been another presenter; whoever it was would need to be ready to take over if the line to the outside broadcast was lost.

Note also that the last track played to close the show was 23 Skiddoo "Coup", although it is unlisted on the playlists.



Live music for BBC Radio was required to be separately logged with songwriter/publisher information for PRS purposes.  The Radio and Programme and date fields are completed by Steve Barker, but it is unclear who completed information for each title.
