Days Gone By

Myra Farnell

Hi I'm Myra, I present the Days Gone By programme here on BCB. I work with reminiscence groups around Bradford to bring you memories of life as it it was - first days at school and at work, when Bradfordians lived in back-to-back houses, the war years, exploring the Bradford of yesteryear, Bradford's cinemas, local poets - if you remember it I can broadcast it. The programme goes out every fourth Sunday at 1-2pm, repeated Monday 12-1pm and Thursday 9-10am.
We hope you like our shows and you can get in touch at the email address below myra.farnell@bcbradio.co.uk

The Punk Show. Punk. Post-punk. AND. Never-was-punk. With Pete Chapman. Broadcast every other Thursday from 11pm to midnight, we aim to play anything that sticks the middle finger up to the expected, including the studded-jacketed variety of punk. Drawing heavily on musical influences from 1976-1986, and keeping a very keen eye on NOW. Expect the unexpected. Punk is in your head not your wardrobe (or your music collection for that matter).
