Some four years ago, Carolyn and myself were involved in the making of an album called "Children's television themes from a parallel dimension", which consisted of forty tunes that could have been the themes from kid's TV programs from the '70s, but weren't. They were mostly written and recorded by former Betikan Steve Christie and the release was credited to "Steve Christie and wRong", though I wrote some of them and recorded them at home, co-wrote some of them and played guitar, drums and trumpet on others while Caz contributed some winds, as did Claire Small, also one quarter of Betika at that moment in time. Bizarrely, given the amount of time that has passed, Stuart Maconie has gotten hold of a copy and played a couple of tracks from it on his "Freakzone" program on BBC6music tonight, opening the show with one of Steve's tunes and closing it with one of mine, with loads of interesting stuff inbetween. You can listen to it again for the next few days here if you so wish.
