All due respect for my friend, Harry Wienger, I have dubious thoughts regarding this program.

Unless I'm reading the more detailed info wrongly, the event is being put on by the Guardian newspaper. If you scroll down to the foot of the article in the link below you'll see that it looks like there's an admission charge of £90 for Guardian Extra members or £99 for guests! I stand to be corrected. Although the studio venue is fairly close to me, I'll think I'll give it a miss! Hopefully it'll be recorded for future broadcast on Radio 2!

It had better be, Alan. Otherwise the R2 advertising for a Grauniad event would be shameless, even by BBC standards. The previous shows were mostly good, and this certainly shows a powerful interest in Motown from the Radio 2 listener, the Guardian Extra reader and a mutual friend, for whom they are each prepared to put up £49.50.
