Charles Chilton - what exists v.v. what is 'lost'

[Stephen Byers]

We are trying to compile a definitive record of the existing (and 'lost') programmes produced by Charles Chilton.

The BBC has aired a nyumber of programmes recently but there are other recordings in private collections.

From this website we have learnt that there is one we didn't know about...

www.soundsurvey.org.uk/index.php/survey/radio_recordings/1950s/2761/

"On January 17, Chilton is doing a programme that will deal with the Negro folk songs known as the ‘Blues’."

We have also just found a series called "Songs of Protest."

Then there are those progammes that haven't been heard in years (a private collector has them).

These are Botany Bay and The Victory.

Thanks - SB
