John Waite
John Waite chooses his highlights from the past seven days of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio.
There's music from the "Singing War" on Pick of the Week this week.
Ten thousand songs were written during the American Civil War - and many are still being sung today. There was plenty of singing, too, on Friday - Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Day - the nation's biggest ever live music event, so there'll be something tuneful from that. And, from a rather different "day" ...Tuesday on 5Live - "Heart Transplant Day".
With a song in your heart then why not join John Waite for his Pick of the Week this Sunday evening at 6.15.
Last on
John Waite
John Waite joined the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ as a news trainee in 1974. Since then John is perhaps best known for presenting Radio 4's popular lunchtime consumer affairs programme You and Yours, as well as his long-running and multi-award winning investigative series Face the Facts.
A simultaneously best and worst moment of John’s career was being so keen to get his microphone close to Prince Charles that he stood heavily on his toe.
Let’s hope he doesn’t start off on the wrong foot this week with his Pick of the Week choices.Β
