New Barry Gray Internet Radio Special/Contest - 19 July

Sorry for the crass self-promotion, but this seemed like the right forum. :-)

I'm a huge Barry Gray fan, and last fall I did a couple of all-Gray specials on my Internet radio show to tie in with the Gray centenary concert. The shows were a big success, so I'm doing a third, all-new show to run on the weekend of Gray's birthday.

Ralph Titterton, who oversees the Gray recording archives, graciously set me up with some previously unreleased recordings for this show! Plus, the station is having a related contest with a prize package of Silva Screen's new Barry Gray retrospective CD plus a Thunderbirds DVD boxed set.

To enter, just go to www.luxuriamusic.com and look for Commander Straker and click "Read More" on the contest Blog.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.
