Plunderphonics
Tuesday September 8th, 2020 with Chris Lyne
Beyond The Pond And Back Again

This evening's show features an eclectic selection of artists who've either: - made their way from overseas to live and record in Canada or - Canadians who've done the same thing, but in reverse. Due to C-19 this programme was pre-recorded from "Beyond The Pond", September 2020. * Chris has been a big fan of CKCU since arriving in Ottawa from the UK in 1981. He joined the station later that year and went on to present two shows each week until returning to the UK in autumn 1986. Since then he's made numerous flying visits back to the CKCU studio to present shows or to appear as a guest.

Interactive CKCU
Chris Lyne (host)
This programme was recorded for CKCU to be used wherever needed within the schedule whilst the studios are in lockdown (and not specifically for "Plunderphonics"). So it doesn't match the "Plunderphonics" show's usual concept, sorry. But I hope you'll enjoy the idea behind this show and the variety of artists featured. I'll be setting my alarm for 2.45 a.m and joining you live from the UK on the interactive page, so do come and say "Hi".

Stephen Fearing

Yes, hb, Stephen will be along a little later. Under normal circumstances he comes over to the UK every year or two to play mostly small venues, roughly the size of Irene's. I usually go to see him when he plays in Weymouth Dorset on the south coast. Always good to chat to Stephen too, he knows CKCU well, of course. :-)

Ah, sorry, hb, were you guessing the answer to the mystery guitarist from London? if so NO, it isn't Stephen Fearing......

10:32 PM, September 8th, 2020
Chris Lyne (host)
As the show's only 1 hour long I had to leave out several artists who also came to live in Canada from overseas. We may do a similar show in the coming weeks, so if you'd like to suggest an artist who fits the bill please do leave your suggestion here. Only criteria is that they came from overseas (or Canadians musicians who've lived overseas). The States doesn't count as it's just a hop skip and jump across the border ;-)

Chris Lyne (host)
The mystery guitarist from London who almost grew up as a Canadian in Vancouver was Steve Hackett. And, yes, hbg, LJ Baldry was great live, I remember seeing him play at the Algonquin College Woodroffe campus (I think it was there).
