INTERNET PRESS RELEASE 28 JUNE 2002

Following the success of the show we did in May,  BBC Radio WM have (foolishly!)  let Carl Wayne take over Malcolm Boyden's lunchtime show (12-2pm) from Tuesday 2 July through to Friday 5 July. Malcolm is taking time off to star in a Birmingham musical drama and while he is away, the BBC have said "just do what you want for 2 hours."

There will be a variety of special musical guests from Carl's long career (every member of The Move will be featured during the week), non-musical guests, great music (including exclusives and previously unreleased material), competitions (including your chance to win tickets to The Hollies shows at Birmingham Symphony Hall, Wolverhampton Grand and Leamington Spa Royal Spa Centre), laughs and good-natured Brummie banter from Carl and his many friends.

Confirmed musical guests (so far) include:

Graham Gouldman - 10cc, Hotlegs, Wax and songwriter extraordinaire for The Hollies (Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window), The Yardbirds (Heart Full of Soul, Evil Hearted You), Herman's Hermits (No Milk Today) and Wayne Fontana (Pamela Pamela).

Dave Morgan - singer/songwriter and now lay-preacher, Dave will be talking about his career in music (including writing for The Move and playing with ELO) and the church.

Chris "Ace" Kefford - The Move's legendary bass player, will be talking frankly about the many illnesses and addictions that prematurely ended his musical career.

Don Gould - from The Applejacks, the first Birmingham group to have a UK hit single with Tell Me When Danny King - another legend from Brum Beat's illustrious past. Regarded as having the finest voice of all the Birmingham singers yet Danny King & The Mayfair Set (featuring Trevor Burton) never made it. Find out why.

Richard Tandy - ELO's multi-talented keyboard player has performed with many artists, including Del Shannon, George Harrison, The Travelling Wilburies and returned with Jeff Lynne and ELO last year on their new album Zoom.

Further guests will be announced over the next few days.

We would like you to participate by sending in song suggestions and your questions for Carl. These could be on The Move, his work as a solo artist with Roy Wood, his career in musicals, advertising, sessions and his current work as a member of The Hollies. Questions will be read out (please include
your full name and where you are from) and answered by Carl on air each day.

Please send emails to girloutside@altavista.co.uk marking them "WM Question".

The programme schedule will be published shortly on this site, and on The Move and ELO lists, both official websites for The Move - www.themoveonline.com and Carl Wayne - www.carlwayne.co.uk and there will be daily updates from the studio and a full listing of all music played.
