Maybe they have a problem with Jazz? I don&#8217;t know. I daresay World Routes isn&#8217;t there cup of tea either. Needless to say that these are all my favourite programmes on Radio 3.<br \/>\nA total of 17 hours a week of non-mainstream music is not a lot to ask. &#8220;Andy Kershaw used to be a Radio 1 disc jockey&#8221; is not much of an argument. John Peel still is, and he&#8217;s much loved on Radio 4. The point is, that if not Radio 3, then where can we hear this music. Not on commercial radio, that&#8217;s for sure. Radio 2? Unlikely. It&#8217;s the usual, NIMBY attitude.<br \/>\nWith maybe one or two exceptions a year, the main evening performance on Radio 3 is a traditional classical concert and not &#8220;bongo drums&#8221;. It&#8217;s unfortunate that many people&#8217;s world views of music extend only to Europe and North America. There&#8217;s a whole world of music out there, and very little of it is actually in primetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good to hear that Gerald Kaufman&#8217;s having a go at Radio 3 now.
