It's been announced that folk royalty, Norma Waterson has shut her
shed door.

Tone, as a long time friend of hers, my condolences to you and of
course my thoughts and prayers are with Martin and the family.

Time for a retrospective, I suppose: though I'd far rather that she
were alive and kicking than that we were looking back on her triumphs.

Go well, Norma.

She hadn't been well for a long while so it wasn't exactly unexpected.
She had been admitted to horse spittle with pneumonia. Martin and Eliza
both tested positive to covid.

It is a very sad loss to an extraordinarily talented family and to the
folk world. The contribution she made is immeasurable. Martin will
obviously be gutted. Apart from his music Norma was his whole life.

Because of covid the family has had no income for a couple of years. A
support find has been set up by Eliza who moved back into the family
home with her two youngsters to care for her parents.

Last Word, BBC Radio 4's obituary programme gave a nice send-off to
Norma Waterson this afternoon.

The podcast hasn't been uploaded yet, AFAICT, but when it is you will
find it here....
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpmv/episodes/downloads

In the meantime there is an extended interview with Martin and Eliza
here....

I recorded a chat with Martin on his 80th at their home. Norma chipped
in too, but she wasn't well then.

Yes, I remember listening to it at the time. That was a good one,
wasn't it?

I have a little gizmo that will download any BBC Radio programmes that
I want to save. As more and more programmes are coming out as podcasts
I don't seem to need to use it so often. What I'm working up to is
asking whether there's any gizmo for downloading your programmes or do
they have to be listened to on line? In which case are they kept on
mixcloud in perpetuity or is there a use-by date?

All the shows since 2014 are at https://www.mixcloud.com/tonyhaynes52/

They can't be downloaded but I could forward the MP3 of the show to you
via wetransfer.com if you like. I would need a live email addy though.

I reckon that "since 2014" is as close to "in perpetuity" as it gets
these days. No need to send an mp3 - if I can still reach them on-line
to dip into now and again, that's great!

Thanks, Tone.

Do you use get_iplayer for BBC? If not, it's worth a look. I use a list
of programmes that I check for updates every day.

Yes, I do. I use it for radio because the BBC and I have an agreement
that, in return for them not billing me £159 per year, I won't watch
their programmes. As it happens I'd willing pay them £159 just to
listen but I know that if I were to pay for a TV licence, hardly any
of that money would go to the radio.

Before the requirement to have a licence for (almost) any type of
viewing, I used to watch the occasional TV programme on iPlayer but I
don't miss not being able to do that any more. Besides, if there were
ever anything on BBC TV that I really, really, really wanted to see it
would almost certainly turn up on Dailymotion. And that's a
civil/copyright issue beyond the scope of TVL.
