Peter Howes
Mishmash, a programme featuring a lot of this and a bit less of that, a good meal of music, from classical and light-classical music, world music, show music to opera; in particular, music by local artists. Add a dash of poetry, for piquancy a featured guest interview and even a 'live' studio guest, and for dessert, a request or two. Every programme has a theme: the first one celebrated New Year, and future ones will focus on the Carnival in Venice, music written in and about London, space and the planets, cocktail hour classics, tea at the Waldorf, and - well, you might like to suggest some themes yourself, so give me a call or e-mail me at the station on Mondays between 18:00 and 19:00. This is the show that many others have wanted to copy but never knew about!
