London is calling! Thanks to a special request from Nick on social media, we fire up the OPW Tape Study to look at WWE's 1991 trip to the Royal Albert Hall featuring a 20-man over the top rope battle royal main event for...a tea urn. That's right, it's WWE Battle Royal at the Albert Hall! No sign of Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart, but you do have the Legion of Doom defending the tag belts against...Power and Glory!? Those of you following us on YouTube can expect a video version of this soon, but we really, really wanted to make sure this got out in some format in the meantime. Thank you for your patience as we get back into the swing of things!

I recently sat down for a chat with David Stanley who is the CEO and Founder of the music Man Project. He founded the Music Man Project after meeting a young guy who had Down's Syndrome who inspired him to start a music project for people with a learning disability. They have played in London's Royal Albert Hall & in London's Iconic Theatre London Palladium. Their next dream is to play a show on Broadway. If anyone can help them to raise some money to help make this wonderful dream happen, there is a link below.website: http://www.themusicmanproject.com/Go Fund Me page : https://gofund.me/220dc2d8b

In een zelden vertoonde stap heeft Prince Andrew onder druk van Koning Charles bekendgemaakt zijn koninklijke titels niet langer te gebruiken. Er lijkt geen einde re komen aan de stroom van nieuwe informatie over Andrews banden met Jeffrey Epstein en het vermeende misbruik van tenminste één minderjarig meisje, de inmiddels overleden Virginia Giuffre. In haar postuum verschenen biografie uitte ze opnieuw beschuldigingen van misbruik door de prins. Ondertussen duikt Andrew ook keer op keer op in de documenten rondom de Epstein-affaire in de Verenigde Staten. Het Britse koningshuis lijkt de boel niet langer te kunnen sussen, en neemt dus - relatief - rigoreuze stappen tegen Andrew. Volgens politici lang niet rigoreus genoeg. Het feit dat de prins zelf afstand mag doen van zijn titels, in plaats van dat ze van hem worden afgenomen, zet kwaad bloed. Ook nieuwe informatie over huurcontracten tussen Andrew en de kroon maken de monarchie niet populairder. De vraag is of deze stappen daar iets aan veranderen. Ook in deze aflevering Bijzonder bezoek in The Royal Albert Hall: de top van het Japanse sumoworstelen streek de afgelopen dagen neer in Londen voor meerdere uitverkochte shows. De Britten smullen ervan, en de worstelaars zelf lijken ook de tijd van hun leven te hebben in de Engelse hoofdstad. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

I början av sin karriär blev Robert Wells utskälld av en pianolärare när han spelat på krogen Engelen i Stockholm. Det var inte fint nog!Det är kanske därför han tar sig an spelningar på Gekås och utanför matvaruaffären med samma entusiasm som gigen på Ullevi, jättearenorna i Kina och Royal Albert Hall i London. Alltid med samma inställning till publiken, nämligen att möta dem med respekt och "spela utav helvete".Robert Wells karriär började som sjuåring hos en pianofröken. Där fick han lära sig de musikaliska grunderna, något han drömmer om att ge tillbaka på camps för unga musiker. Ett slags Wells Farm som han kallar det själv.Vi pratar också om den tuffa musikbranschen, glädjen att få spela fyrhändigt med en tolvåring på nästa Rhapsodykonsert, kärleken till Charlie Norman och Lill-Babs, tårtan som var avsedd för en kritiker på GP, hur man blir en bra pianist och vad som egentligen hände under programmet ”Så ska de låta”.Moderator: Gunnar OesterreichMusik: Mattias Klasson/Daniel OlsenDistribution: AcastHitta allt om podden: Websida: https://spannandemoten.se/Instagram: @spannandemotenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spannandemotenLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnar-oesterreich/Kontakt: gunnar@oesterreich.se eller via sociala medier Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a sartorial journey with the brilliantly talented English-Italian acoustic singer, songwriter, and musician Jack Savoretti. Jack's reputation as a singer-songwriter is perfectly epitomised by those he has collaborated with over the years, which reads like a “who's who” of the music world including names such as Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, Nile Rogers and Zucchero. We laugh about his style growing up, how important his school uniform was to him, and the identity that he gets from his clothes. Being dressed correctly is clearly important to him…he loves  ”timeless elegance”. He is a good story teller in proper Italian fashion… embracing British country wear for their life in Oxfordshire, rather than for the streets of Milano where the Italians love to promenade around the shops in their Huskies and Barbours…albeit immaculate ones!  He tells me he bought a 1912 tailcoat to get married in to his beautiful artist wife Jemma Powell (who also wore vintage)…sexy rock chic for the record! When his father died he found himself reaching for his father's style…particularly suede jackets which his father loved and he found it incredibly comforting to dress like “Italian men”. We discuss the privilege and the unique sartorial experience of wearing the great Italian designers…namely Armani and Brunello Cuccinelli in Venice…  He makes sure he and his band are elegant and unified on stage. We talk about him asking his band to get dressed for the show sound check as he says that they perform better when they dressed….there was a professionalism and new level of respect that kicked in when they arrived for rehearsals looking smart. Jack will be celebrating his 20 year career in music for one night only at The Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 23rd April 2026. Get your tickets quickly before they are all sold out! www.jacksavoretti.com Thank you @jacksavoretti for being such an entertaining guest x

The Royal Albert Hall was the unlikely venue for the biggest Sumo wrestling tournament ever staged outside of Japan on 9th October, 1991. Around forty wrestlers, described in the press as “bouncing like fat Buddhas,” thundered across a ring on clay sourced from a field near Heathrow.  Part of the grand Japan Festival - a four-month cultural takeover marking 100 years of the Japan Society, including kabuki at the National Theatre and Buddhist sculptures at the British Museum - demand for tickets was sky-high, thanks to Channel 4's cult Friday night sumo broadcasts. A Shinto-style canopy was shipped over, and reinforced hotels were arranged for the athletes, complete with detachable showers, reinforced beds, and double-sized meals to help them hit their 7,000-calorie daily target. The lineup featured stars with nicknames like “The Killer Whale,” “The Plum,” and the 37-stone “Dump Truck,” Konishiki Yasokichi. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the impact the festival had on introducing Londoners to Japanese culture; reveal why the wrestlers had a pit-stop in Anchorage on their way to England; and explain why some fans didn't tell their colleagues they were attending… Further Reading: • ‘Albert Hall hosts first sumo tournament held outside Japan' (The Guardian, 1991): https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/oct/10/sumo-wrestling-royal-albert-hall • ‘Sumo Wrestling's Solid Foundation in the UK and Europe' (SportsLook, 2023): https://featured.japan-forward.com/sportslook/sumo-wrestlings-solid-foundation-in-the-uk-and-europe/ • ‘Sumo: Terao v Kotogaume 1991 (London)': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0TrLXi-uk #Japan #Sport #London #90s Love the show?

In this episode of 'Seeing Them Live,' Charles and Doug explore the intersection of True Crime and Rock and Roll with guest Jim Berkenstadt, also known as the Rock and Roll Detective. Berkenstadt has a worldwide reputation for uncovering the hidden histories and mysteries within popular music. His exhaustive investigative works span from serving as a historical consultant on several high-profile documentaries to publishing award-winning books that delve into the enigmatic corners of rock history. Berkenstadt recounts his initial foray into rock investigation during eighth grade when he explored the 'Paul is Dead' conspiracy surrounding Paul McCartney. This early experience sparked his lifelong passion for becoming a rock detective, leading to a prolific career that has seen him solving many mysteries in the music world involving elements of True Crime. Jim shares stories about attending memorable concerts, including a terrifying but exhilarating Wings concert in 1976 where pyrotechnics blew him and his friend off their chairs. He also recalls sneaking into a sold-out George Harrison concert and the emotional tribute concert for George Harrison organized by Eric Clapton.Berkenstadt discusses his book 'Mysteries in the Music: Case Closed,' which tackles complex topics such as the FBI's extensive and somewhat absurd investigation into alleged obscene lyrics in the song 'Louie Louie,' the CIA's possible involvement in Bob Marley's death, and the Beach Boys' interactions with Charles Manson.Additionally, Berkenstadt's book 'The Beatle Who Vanished' narrates the incredible yet true story of Jimmy Nichol, a drummer who substituted for Ringo Starr during a Beatles tour, only to mysteriously disappear from the public eye. The discussion also covers Berkenstadt's involvement in music documentaries like 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World' and his upcoming work on Nirvana's Nevermind album. Through a combination of rock legends, government intrigue, True Crime, and lost histories, Jim Berkenstadt brings to life the dramatic and captivating interplay of True Crime and rock and roll.BANDS: Billy Preston, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Green Day, Jeff Lynne, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Muddy Waters, Nirvana, Ravi Shankar, Ringo Starr, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, The Euphorics, The Quarry Men, The Rainbows, The Rolling Stones, The Spotnicks, The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty, Traffic, Wings.VENUES: Chicago Stadium, Edgewater Hotel, Royal Albert Hall, Soldier Field, Sunset Marquee, The Checkerboard Lounge.

Aunque James Rhodes (Londres, 1975) dejó de tocar el piano durante 10 años por presión familiar, su talento y su trabajo le han llevado a tocar en algunos de los teatros y recintos más importantes del mundo como el Royal Albert Hall de Londres o el Palau de la Música de Barcelona. La música clásica cambió la vida de Rhodes de muchas formas, por eso en su último trabajo, 'MANíA', ha querido narrar a través de las canciones su recorrido desde el infierno en el Reino Unido hasta el paraíso que ha encontrado en España.

Við heyrum í dag raddir úr ólíkum áttum, áttum sem oftar en ekki er stillt upp sem andstæðum, röddum sem þó kalla eftir því sama; friði. Við heyrum pistil frá barnaskólakennara á Gaza, hinni 28 ára gömlu Reham Khaled. Khaled er líka skáld og næmur penni og um miðbik þáttar heyrum við þýðingu Guðrúnar Hannesdóttur á ákalli Reham Khaled, Örvæntingarópið sem enginn heyrir. Við hringjum líka til Ísrael til að ræða við Ilan Volkov, fyrrum aðalhljómsveitarstjóri SÍ, sem vakti mikla athygli síðasta fimmtudagskvöld, þegar hann hélt ræðu að loknum Proms tónleikum í Royal Albert Hall og kallaði eftir aðgerðum alþjóðasamfélagsins til að stöðva hörmungarnar á Gaza.

SynopsisThe year 2002 marked the 10th anniversary of BBC Music Magazine and to celebrate the magazine's editor asked British composer Colin Matthews to coordinate a bold commissioning idea: a set of seven orchestral variations on a theme by Henry Purcell: Hail, Bright Cecilia.The resulting suite, Bright Cecilia Variations, had its premiere on today's date in 2002 at a Last Night of the Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with the BBC Symphony led by American conductor Leonard Slatkin.Colin Matthews' orchestration of the Purcell theme was followed by Matthews' original variation, and in turn by six other variations composed by three additional British composers, namely Judith Weir, David Sawer and Anthony Payne, plus one each by the Danish composer Poul Ruders, Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, and American composer Michael Torke.Torke had this to say about his variation: “I wanted to create almost a jungle frenzy, by having four drummers from the percussion section playing tom-toms and shadowing those rhythmic beatings with melodic woodwind and brass fragments all drawn from the original theme … The result is vigorous.” Music Played in Today's ProgramColin Matthews (b. 1946): Bright Cecilia: Variations on a Theme by Purcell; (BBC Philharmonic; Gianandrea Noseda, conductor; BBC Music Vol. 11, no. 3

In this episode of Change Makers, Michael Hayman is joined by journalist and author Cathy Newman. Best known as one of Channel 4's leading broadcasters, Cathy shares the lesser-known story of her lifelong love affair with music - and it's one with strings attached.  From a childhood spark - a stray violin brought home during a bout of chickenpox - to performing in the parliamentary String Quartet, music remained a constant companion. Yet journalism became her stage, and Cathy reflects on the rhythm, focus, and listening both disciplines demand. Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Cathy reflects on her early musical experiences, the challenges of being a woman in media, and her advocacy for music education through Music for All. Along the way, she shows how passion, perseverance, and listening deeply - whether to a piece of music or a person - can shape both life and work.

Tally Koren arrived in London with one suitcase and a dream in the late 90s. Against all odds she became an international singer/songwriter. Despite family objections and countless music business rejections, what kept her going was turning every minus to plus, taking every refusal to become better, and every hard situation to do something good to herself and others.Her turning point to fulfill her childhood dreams and to become a singer happened at the age of 26, while she was in a very unhappy marriage. A singing teacher immediately recognised her talent and thought that her low voice is reminiscent of Karen Carpenter.In 2007, Tally made the decision to make her first album and not to wait for the record company. Despite one of the top radio people telling her that she doesn't have a chance to make it nationally because she was over 40, she made the choice to listen to the words of her song “Beauty of the Duty" saying that “the only thing that holds you back is you.” Her song became a national success on BBC radio three weeks later. Many of her other singles have been playlisted with over 1000 radio stations in the UK and around the world.She has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, The National Arboretum, The Belgrade Theatre, Pizza on the Park, Pizza Express, The JW3, Electric Carousel, The Soho Revue Bar, the Forum (Kentish Town), Tate Britain to Celebrate William Blake's birthday, The House of Lords, and opening a football match at the MK Dons Stadium. Her music has been featured in films and television advertisements. Her purpose in life is to inspire people to do what they love. Tally says: “For me, free will is not just a song; it's a journey about resilience, commitment, and my life purpose to inspire people to make the best choices in life, have the courage to go for their dreams, never give up, and take every rejection to become better.” At 61, she still is releasing new music and teaching children how to express themselves through songs.Learn more and follow her: www.tallykoren.comhttps://www.facebook.com/tallykoren/https://twitter.com/tallykorenhttps://www.youtube.com/user/tallykorenwww.instagram.com/tallykoren
