THE BRMB CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES:

Here are the amazing BRMB Pantomimes from 1985 and 1986. I have to say that as I was converting them from the old original cassette recordings to MP3 files that the tears were streaming down my face. Many of the lines and references are 'in jokes' that would be very well recognized by regular BRMB listeners - but even if you weren't a BRMB enthusiast I'm sure that it will still be extremely amusing. This is CLASSIC BRMB so here are some 'Must Listens' :-

Here is a clip for listeners of Radio Mercury and Southern Sound who were fans of Timbo in the 1980's. Timbo (Tim Lloyd) sat in for Nick Meanwell
on BRMB in July 1989. The zany madcap style of show was quite different to BRMB's usual style which was a little more understated.After one of Timbo's
repeated comments in this show, did he ever work on commercial radio again? Of course he went on to work for BBC local radio!

RADIO ACOCKS GREEN : Listen to Jasper Carrott and the BRMB in April 1979 [48 kbps]

Performers include Birmingham's funnienst funny-man Jasper Carrott with BRMB's Ed Doolan, Adrian Juste and Brian Savin with production by Phil Dawson. Almost incredibly Radio Acocks Green lampooned local radio and even some of BRMB's own programmes and presenters - the spoofs included Tony Waiter, a take off of BRMB's legendary sports presenter Tony Butler, spoof commercials, "Open Line" with Brian Nunn (rather than BRMB's Alan Nin) and "Tradio" where Radio Acocks Green listeners could sell their unwanted goods, as long as they cost no more than 5 pence!

This is just a small part of the Radio Acocks Green spoof.
If YOU have any more of this material recorded - please let us know!

Keith Burson very kindly did just that and sent us this more extended version:

NEW !!!!!

RADIO ACOCKS GREEN - abridged version [32k] NEW !!!!!

IF YOU HAVE ANY RECORDINGS FROM BRMB in the 1970's and 1980's or the RADIO ACOCKS GREEN spoof, or know of anyone else that might have some of BRMB's historic programmes recorded on tape...

PLEASE LET US KNOW !!!

Any vintage recordings of MERCIA SOUND would also be gratefully received.
Thank You !
