Is any good. Anyway it will come to funky Friday later. We're going to start off with one of the greats. Certainly if you're Middlesex fan. You might brutally one of the great thing because of cricket. Has got a new book out called on cricket so we thought we'd bring you mean. We've also got Romeo and Juliet both of them. Julia is Karen Fishwick Romeo is. There starring in a new R.S.C. Production at the Barbican. And we're going to be talking to them between $1130.12. Star crossed lovers in the. Excellent cats in these coming in I know she's excellent because she sang here for us before. She's got a new single out she's really good and she's going to be here between 12 and 1230. And then we will be sharing the funk with Chris and moon are less from the real thing one of the real funky pioneers of British music. They're playing at Koko is part of Tony Blackburn Sona out for B.B.C. Children In Need. And Chris is going to be our funky coach you're right. And that just leaves today's for. 100 years it's the 100th. So we thought that fact it was one of you suggested. You just. Define it however you will but if you've got a song that. Spreads the word of pace. 17312000 doesn't have to be in the title necessarily but in the message of the song . So it's propane or. I'll tell you that number one more time 080-731-2000. Innocent lose. The bigger gigs. To get. To keep. It going to. Get it. And. She. Can see. The significance of. This and gets a. Lead such. Sought. To. Get. A. Good. Example. Because. A good. Thing is. Seeking to. Get rich. Quick. Gain some great suggestions for today's 4th or really really good cross-section of music we're going to be hearing for that. So we're probably not going to buy that one. But there's lots of good stuff that is coming in yes to be said so. Definitely will definitely have a full file expense along with the hopefully we'll have a 5 because I got one I want to play so I'll just remind you what else we're dealing doing today apart from celebrating pace we got Mike Brearley coming in to about his book on cricket Mikey's one of the great thinkers of the green the cricket was a great cook it of course he was England captain he was Middlesex cuts him. He was captain in 1001 with the guy is Ashes series of them all and he will be here between 10 to 11 then it's the 4th or then it's count fish will come by legal who are the 2 young stars of a new production of Romeo and Juliet cats 8 and coming into play live for us and as I said she's been on the show before so I know she's very good and then it's funky Friday and today's a little different because we're sharing it with Chris and Lou from the real thing they're playing all performing as part of Tony black Burns Selma out for B.B.C. Children In Need and Chris is going to be calling the chains so they go. Low is not so they want to fight it but after that after the show that I'm going into town that say about enough I'm going to go buy some records on going to drink some beer . Let's go. And how gallon that is very good advice Andy Andy says well but make sure that you buy your records before you have a drink. But it is very good advice and they don't want to use that so much Eldrid . Do you still buy See Does anyone out there still buy See days. See off of cum of my dis roll I get now I have to come clean you know I get sent lots of C. Days so it's not like I don't have cds in my life but I've also certainly there was a period of time when I still bought loads of C.D.'s I tend to buy the sort of cd's and I'm not going to plan the show it tends to be jazz or it tends to be for leaks you know I don't God Stoffel the you know film music world music or whatever so I'm not usually buying C.D.'s for work sometimes I do actually that's not entirely true I have done many many times over the years but I don't much buy C.D.'s anymore. I still buy vinyl which is a more expensive but more lovely It has to be said and you're very you're very right if you're going to go out and buy 2 or 3 albums which I probably am this afternoon I should definitely have a drink before because I'm cheap it's got to be said. And can end up spending a few people just one if anyone is still buying C.D.'s really I mean they were there's nothing wrong with them I don't mind the sound quality it's different to vine and they are very portable and all of that but that is there any advantage of a CD over just having a having it on your computer or whatever. I guess it's like Roger says he just bought the entire Glen Miller collection from up on the CD Cho is shot for 3 quid because his car is a CD player yes that is mine actually project. And I think that's a good reason for still buying them occasionally but the thing is that I will say. This is a stadium play and it was Jonathan Jerram are in a very good one indeed but I have got on vinyl. And some of the shots. I think it probably is actually. A good record in fact good album or around that's the title track good day by Jonathan Jeremiah and it's up there for one of the albums of the year Russell Cluck says you know I still buy C.D.'s He says I need something to hold in my and well that's absolutely true I can't just because I can all remember a song without looking at the cover of the sleeve in awareness the he says but in his case he says I need to read the sleeve notes because obviously Russell has music as you know a lot of it is for his research for the work that he does so I understand that without a sleep nights a month I get difficult to read when they're on say take his. That's true Tom Chong says one of them few real pleasures in life as you get older is to buy some records and then after you've done the buying Take a glass or 2 while checking the line and notes of the Opie's you've just bought or what's what's a pleasure that is he says as the listener said it could be dangerous to take the drink 1st or you'll end up buying loads of Y. Frightening music but that's what I'm going out to get I'm specifically on the hunt for why frightening music to my wife is sort of changing opinion of of jazz a little bit she came up with a great line she called the jazz I like nervous breakdown music and I know what she means because if you're listening to you know late period John Coltrane or album Coleman or the people I particularly like to listen to it can get a little bit jangling on the nerves although I like lots and lots of really gentle beautiful stuff as well. You see that Saturday on Columbia right and he said I still buy See days mostly in fact make Cambridge this comment like you know I'm a jazz enthusiastic but I sold or gave away my jazz vinyl collection many years ago if only I knew where thankfully I didn't I must admit it did sit pretty dormant for a while. The the the OPI collection but I thankfully never saw a wife a lost some bit so many years did when I was they Jane it tended to but but knock at most of it I'm very glad to say and some of it were for the obit these days not fortunes but he's worth a bit so in but as he says I bought the Willie Nelson sing Sinatra yesterday I love it isn't it great Honestly it's a truly great album miles but he's a vinyl man like yourself I don't think there's any 40 five's left embrace charas shops and Spanish shops come to that because it's cleaned them all out we have a jukebox in our sitting room often a song they can't quite well that's good I'm glad you're going off to the sauna and gives me a good reason to play this show. Us . We. Saturday love by Alexander Arnold is just one of the the people appearing in the lineup of the big No Al it's the real thing and we're going to be hearing from Chris Emery lights a shark attack Diane Shaw the Tasha waltz Alexandra Burke is a great lineup will be a great night and you can get your tickets and by going to B.B.C. Dot co dot U.K. Slash Radio London it's 35 pounds for ticket of which I'd seen pounds as a minimum goes to B.B.C. Children In Need I'm so that would be a great and in fact. If you have quite a lot of us saying you're going. Allison send me an email about another great night out which was last weekend last Friday and it was Winston foundation played and poor weather came on and I did before and I only really do it for stone foundation and she says morning Robert big thanks for your set last Friday I loved it it just didn't last long enough it's very kind lasted long enough for me I was running at Jones as a 50 something I want to highlight the lack of places I can go and listen to quality chains and have a dance I would have loved to have stayed and danced after the performance shame you couldn't continue yourself the woods to where we couldn't because the venue was any higher up until 10 or 11 or whatever time it was she says I'm this definite gap in the market for this age group come on more but why don't you consider doing a set somewhere regularly Well we did consider it and I've been to great lengths to try and organize it but I am the world's worst organizer I can organize anything whatsoever and it fell through because I'm not good at 70 or was it just invite me every now and then to come and play a set. Of the popular little bit of money but only a bit I don't give it a very small amount of money the only one the other night but if I was to invite me to come and play a set on a regular basis I would think about it but can't do the organizing I'm just not you know I have people who do. 1030 hits time for the next.

Good morning right now on the sensors in the cameras for this middle part of the morning not too bad overall actually a little bit slow on the city words as you make your way towards the old street roundabout because of the lights which is still there by the junction with barfs trees and invokes or Southland with roads has the gas mains work that's still there by the junction the parish that's a potential hot spot that one certainly for the rush hour tonight and it won't be there until the 24th of November 7th of a couple of weeks or so we keep an eye of course on our furs the traffic lights and electricity works in the hall near the junction with permits farm workers it's the Christmas lights which once lights in the south banks over that there will be some brief Shafik colds and large crowds expected and the tower remembers tonight at the Tower of London from 5 o'clock until 9 o'clock this evening and we're expecting some large crowds adding to that event as well right now just to remind you as well about the Lord Mayor show tomorrow when there will be extensive closures throughout central London from 7 o'clock in the morning until fights of the whole day. Yeah that's definitely yes in this coming half an hour we're going to be talking to one of the greats he was one of the greats and because the story was one of the great cook isn't he's one of the great thing about cricket he's Mike Brearley and he's got a new book out. Berlin Amy Winehouse. Lots of people. Sitting opposite Mike Britney I mean I'm I'm a cricket fan I'm an England fan I'm on the Middlesex fan so the man has played a part in my my cricket watching life and now in my cricket reading Life is one of the great sages of the game and he's got a new book out called Mike Brearley on cricket so we thought we'd bring him in Mike thanks very much for coming to the shark thank you 1st of all. In terms of the sort of the STATE OF THE NATION and cricket I mean I cook and Englishness a kind of synonymous and yet it seems to me it's always only ever been a fairly things section of the English kind of nation which you know anything whatsoever about the guy it's a funny thing isn't it I mean I do like that remark by an Indian writer who said Cricket is an Indian game accidently discovered in England which is a great it's a great idea and see a lot James might have said something similar about the Caribbean Well yes and it's wonderful that these places play cricket in their own way in their own style and is different from you know we have good matches against them but you're right it's a thin thin layer and it's getting thinner is the worrying thing because so few people play in state schools now and. That's one thing and the 2nd thing is the threat to Test cricket from domestic T 20 leagues are quite like T 20 but I just don't want to push Test cricket out. I mean let's let's look at what seems to me then to be the policy of Test cricket I mean Test cricket is always has been the sort of the top of the pyramid is the pinnacle of the guy it's the 5 day for my it takes time it's the greatest players in the book what should be the greatest arenas and the biggest challenge absolutely I mean I've never played that level but I'm sure it is why there for all. You know people aren't turning up to go and watch they are in England when I was just going to say that but only here and I mean. That's right so the worrying thing is in 10 years time how many countries will still be playing Test cricket yeah and I mean Australian in them will be Imagine India will be the keynote it may play a lot of it well I actually went to go and see a game in Mumbai and it was a full house I have to sign and whatever test Yeah I'm going to go double century and it was a wonderful day wonderful but it isn't always an awesome times it's pretty it was against England and it was against the meter a lot of the simple as it was we've been English but still it's worrying and it needs a huge effort I think by each country and by the the I.C.C. The International Cricket Council to try to promote rectify give the best opportunity to test cricket does it also need an effort from the cricketers as it seems to me that in some senses I mean you can't blame them money is in 2020 cricket the money is in Indian leagues and I.P.L. And all of that but if these people all sportsmen and athletes and they want to as you say play their sport at the highest level to turn your back on Test cricket surely ought to always prefer you know the white ball game is surely room. Yes I agree with you you can't blame them and you tend to government. I mean one of the things is there's a guaranteed income for you from 5 or 6 weeks cricket T 20 tournament and you might not get picked for England or you might break a leg or an arm but it's not just England it's the West Indies for example I mean cricket for me you know I grew up in that period of the head in many of those great West Indian team this and cricket has been diminished by that by not having a great West Indies for I agree entirely I mean it's very sad what's happening there and it's difficult to know quite why it's gone so far downhill and they're still pretty good at the limited as much as they were in that you have World T 20 a couple of years ago but they're pretty ordinary in Test cricket all my ID Do you understand I don't understand imagine it's partly to do with administration in the country and the fact that the players in the border for now with each other but that can't be the whole thing either it's a whole culture has changed yet I don't think we can blame baseball and American T.V. Or football or basketball or any of those things you can I mean they may play their part they might soften off something that would have gotten angry but I don't know if they're partly the answer the cricket in some sense is certainly the long kind of what's seen by many as a rather languorous slow version of the game has kind of lost its mythology in some people's eyes it it if you've got seduced by cricket you've got seduced by the ideas of the green field in the time it took and yet you think that would be the case in the West Indies when you got very rich as you go Curtly Ambrose you've got all these great players Gary Sobers wears who you've got plenty of methodology and story telling stories to be told of heroism or great great achievement defeats on the cricket field have a great star perhaps it's been replaced by a mythology. Of passion far it's a quick run is fast make as much money I mean I suppose that's true of cultural change in general the attention span gets quicker we've got mobile phones we can get access to things immediately we don't have to wait you know seems to have accelerated over the last 3040 years and especially perhaps the last 10 or 15 I mean I even when colored clothing you know no I don't. You do i know i do like to see what's bad and doesn't bother me the other but let's go this is that's been sort of looking forward let's look back a bit yes how did you 1st get involved in the game through my dad he was a very good cricketer played once for Yorkshire and twice for Middlesex he played for Middlesex in 1949 and it was Fred to Mrs 1st game I was 16 and when Fred Timmins was $49.00 we hold him back out of the dressing room to play again sorry on a turning pitch when he come for have a cup of coffee and smoke his pipe without it and again he took 4 wickets in match we won the championship so he would say that was my last year he would say he's 2 of the Father in the son well so I followed my father and I've started to get interested in Middlesex as you did you know I did in 1949 with. Continental and then most days when there had been big crowds count again I think I probably still were just after the war yes I mean I didn't start I didn't go very often I went to watch my dad play club cricket at the weekend but when you were 1st starting to play county again they were because they weren't there were probably a few more than but very few and they come to the in those days it was called the jeweler Cup Yes that is the limited overs Yes and they come a bit to the Sunday League as they do now well the now come in greater numbers the T 21 the T 20 is what it doesn't and I was saying I was a bit skeptical about it but it has worked and it's I like many of the innovations it's protean delish and scoop you know he scooped it overs are now the very fact the bands for now have a right to shots I didn't exist and the bowlers have an array of ploys to try and defeat them as well so I like all that innovation and the experimentation. When you were coming along who were your heroes who were you looking out well see there was a constant come to Ned Ridge Hutton from Yorkshire mark my dad was Yorkshireman and the funny thing is I chose Jack Robinson who was a Middlesex and England opening batsman but not a great star and then I followed him to become Middlesex opening batsman and career records room is starting to cool so it's very odd that I picked him but the way England have just won the 1st Test against England had our thanks to their good but you see even that's interesting even though I think I mean that so much of the test now but playing all those one day games in a monsoon because that's when you can fit the means and television should use the mines could you know people have played a lot of money to fly out there what's that going on I mean there's been so many crests decisions by whoever runs cricket in world terms it would be good if there was a more overall attitude and there were some windows for it for proper tours and proper test matches I mean even sticking up for the B.B.C. You know letting go of Test matches national. And and for that matter to rest through T.V.'s as much as absolutely So all these things are a little They sure why you need or little I mean at the worst the nails in the coffin I'm not saying it is that but it could be yeah I mean I think we're all we're all worried about that yeah in terms of the stuff that the. We you spoke about the people over when you were 1st coming along when you were captaining both Mr examining and who are the easiest of the most difficult to. See I mean who was trying to gag Well there were plenty of I mean as a matter of fact I think teams are often the best when like when they're all yeah and there's arguments in detention reasons and a bound to be but it's best to have them out in the open more than hidden but anyway since you asked the question I mean in both I'm I found easy because probably because he came into the team. When I was captain I was his 1st England captain so. He was even he was once a young hopeful you know and and he was such a brilliant player and he would argue with me but he would often come and he'd listen and I could say things very frankly and straight forwardly to and we got on well he took the mickey out of me he may be a bit more human I've got to you know I took the mickey out of him and made him a bit about a bit faster or get a bit annoyed or whatever I needed really I mean it was always said that your captaincy skills were your kind of Paramount kind of talent if you like and I'm not sure what this is politely I don't know what you mean. Did you feel that the role of the sort of field psychologist was what you were particularly good at it was acting should know whatever it was it wasn't easy I mean I didn't find it easy for England that side of things and I do my I mean I wasn't a great player of course is about I could have done better and he said because it is that partly because you're energies did go into captaincy rather than but I can put it that way because when I was in county cricket I think being captain helped me to play better Roddick came a player who fell but you're going to catch him in a very in a good period of time to me as I was but I still got anxious about my batting did you know tight not very good what's the highest point is it 981 leaders I think it was you know there's too many you know exactly those 3 Test matches edging edge inly followed by edge of his edge wisdom which we only won by $29.00 but in $25.00 wickets for one run at the end to win the match and mentions to Old Trafford where he scored a 100 and. Australia got 400 chasing 500 in the last innings it was an extraordinary feel of the time that you were living through something that was in cricket in terms historic Well yes I mean 1st of felt like a disaster you know we were going to lose by an innings etc etc and it was very apart from brilliant performances by both the man but Bob Willis of course that Headingley it was there was an awful lot of luck in that but once it changed around unenthused you said it was luck. Well all I'm saying there's a lot of luck in it yeah and I mean or he had a hit and he got he got one and fro and grandly had a hit and they put on about 130 for the 9th. Circuit 8th wicket with 9th we could have it with 8th wicket and and the ball went flew everywhere and it flew out of the ground once or twice produce a few over the slips played a Miss know the rest of it and it was the worst and it was the best possible policy was free and both to play like that. And he played wonderfully but he also had luck and we had luck in the field there are all similarities I thought between that series and I was it 2005 where it was where Flintoff that was wonderful that was one of a lot of them and I think what both of those series. Proved is that when the cricket is wonderful Yes a nation movie galvanized by I mean meticulous and for the cab drivers to show in the score on taxes you went part yet and it was wonderful and I don't know it was something catches on you catches on within the team but as you say between the team and the spectators and the nation even when you guys really were absolutely did it didn't feel as good as captain of an England team that you had the weight of the Nation on your shoulders so to speak I mean always in the nicest way there were nice things and not such nice things the nice way somebody came up to me I think it was in some in Greenwich in some back street shop or shopping street and a bloke came up to me and said and called me my captain you know now is rather talk to you. And on the other hand you did feel if things and as you say things went well I didn't Captain against the West Indies you notice. At that time but things went well but when things weren't going so well you could feel the pressure of. Expectation Demond dissipate disappointment Yeah you mentioned earlier very early on were talking that schools cricket is one of the big parts of the problems what can we do about well Chance to Shine does a bit which is a charity for primary school children in very quick cricket and it does at least give them a baton a boo to hit the ball with and it's reached millions of children the M.C.C. . Is doing a sort of elite version of that which is trying to get good players out of state schools in the next age group to go into clubs and use facilities of public schools it's interesting isn't it because there's clearly a culture thing going on here because. It's you know we say that state school kids don't play cricket Well they do if they come from an Asian background for some of them do more of them while more and more a lot more of them where they get that it was true if they came from Caribbean background you know that's to me less that's. This is the South Asian. Whole influx no influx in number population more interested in cricket than any other sense the logical section section is that is they were also still a north south divide I mean. You know what I talk about cricket because now it's a posh person's going now you probably wouldn't say that in Lancashire or you wouldn't and you wouldn't say it in your you wouldn't have said it in your she would usually know exactly street cricket in and luckily there has always been that combination and that's one of the. But yes but even at Middlesex you get neither you got Fred Thompson John Murray who left school at 14 or 15 and played in boys' clubs yet there were books still tough though Phil Tufnell while he went to Highgate he wasn't even heard Tufnell is quick to tell tell that. There was a partial You know yes quite partially or. Heavily in everything you hear that. It's quite nice that whether it was used to Tony Blair. Down the No it wasn't digital. Anyway it was something about Yeah exactly yeah. So what do we do I mean up all of these things are important but it well all we can do there is the bits we can do I mean I suppose that finding a few people through these and C.C. Hubs the chance to shine. Using some of the money that. Was made and still makes from Test cricket and other curriculum and I have to say when my son is 22 now living and working in Madrid but when he was about 6 or 7 he played football and he played cricket there's the 2 things Yeah exactly and he went to local state schools and I played some quick cricket in his journey a school and he could bowl he could just very naturally Bowl leg breaks it was just sort of came very naturally to him now when I He stopped me I have to say it was very it was the football the kind of was really quite easy there were people looking out for him there were just many who ended up playing for Chris but right just for a while at the center of excellence but he was equally good at cricket yes and then a nobody there was no no one ever came along and said oh we're quite good at that no and then. We did get him a bit along to Lourdes a couple of times but it was so you know I didn't quite have the right key and you know I mean I just mean Wasn't Made Easy and that's a very good point as a very good point I mean and it's the trouble cricket too is that it isn't expensive it's a bit of a massive game to play probably need to do some back yeah you need a decent if ads and it's a humble and yes you know you need to helm Yeah I don't know that's not the only of the gear and people need time to who are willing to look after these young boys and girls and oh by the way when girls the women think I just was going I want to things that the C.B. Is done and the International Cricket organization is done has developed women's cricket yes whether brilliantly it has never been enough and that's not has been one of the great leaps forward to having a dissolute is well Mike it's been an absolute pleasure thank you and I me and it's a pleasure reading the book as well Mike Brearley on cricket. Thank you. Very much. For having us. You. Just. Going to. Prison.
