Hi,
does anyone have any details on the 1960s BBC radio show Pop North? What regions did it cover, and where did it broadcast from?
The ultimate aim of this line of query is that I'm looking to see if any off air recordings from a 1968 show might still exist out there, but beforehand I'm trying to gather as much info as possible on the show.

Generally a national broadcast from Manchester but recorded sessions were occasionally played in to the live broadcast (for example Hendrix's appearance). BBC Genome is broadly accurate in terms of guests but as it was often live, performers could be no-shows due to illness. I don't know of any surviving 1968 recordings. The show was broadcast on 1500m only on the light but that may have changed. I know of about 3 shows from 66/67 that survive in part.

Some of Jimi Hendrix's January 1967 appearance surfaced only last year. Hey Joe and about 2/3rds of Rock Me Baby (until the tape ran out.)
