Time to Sing
READERS who saw an item "Blow ,the Man Down" in The Listener about three months ago will remember that it gave a lively picture of a night in storm’ in the R.M.S. Rangitata, berthed at Wellington, when an NZBS team headed by Jack Dobson was recording an informal evening of songs and party games. We promised listeners then that in due course they would hear the programme-complete with genuine storm effects-and it has now turned up with five others, which are to be broadcast from YA stations on Wednesday nights at 8,0 p.m./under the general title Time to Sing. They are the result of visits made by Mr. Dobson and team and recorder to various places in and around Wellington. In the first, to be broadcast on August 26, listeners are taken to Plimmerton, near Wellington, for an informal evening with Henry Kelly, Jean McPherson, Ulric Williams, Jim Greenlees and John Parkin. After that there will be visits in turn to Mangaroa Camp, at the southern end of the new Rimutaka tunnel, a country farm house in the Ohariu Valley, the Dominion Scout Training Headquarters at Tatum Park, near Levin, the Rangitata, and a remote sheep farming community at Tinui, in the Wairarapa. ~
