The Last of the Teenage Idols
Broadcast on BBC Radio 2
Saturday 3rd February 2007
20:00 - 21:00

Alex Lester pays tribute to and celebrates the tragically short life of Glaswegian Alex Harvey, the unforgettable front man with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band who died 25 years ago.

Wearing his trademark black and white striped t-shirt, Harvey epitomized early rock and roll, his life the typical blend of success and sorrow. One minute Alex was headlining the Reading Festival, the next mourning the loss of his brother who was electrocuted on stage playing with Stone the Crows.

Insight and anecdotes are shared by Billy Connolly, Noddy Holder, Lulu, Jim Kerr, Harvey's widow Trudy and band members Zal Cleminson, Ted McKenna and Chris Glen.

I've got a vintage Alex Harvey perfomance on video, the tracks interspersed by Peel interviewing Alex. Only 20 minutes and 3 tracks but great stuff. I'll post it on the blog in the next few days.

Seriously great to have new stuff on JPEveryday.

All the best

    Although the clean-feed policy is targeted solely at "vulnerable" children, official statistics show that a large majority of internet-connected households in Australia have no children under 15. According to ABS research (Household use of information technology2006-07), the number of households wi ...

  • 7.30 Report and Internet Hysteria

    When we heard the 7.30 Report was preparing a report on the clean feed policy, we were hopeful that a serious piece would highlight some of the major concerns with the policy. When the story opened with "A monster is loose in suburbia", it was obvious this was not to be. Although the ABC interviewe ...

  • 73% disagree with ISP filtering

    Whirlpool's Australian Broadband Survey for 2007 included a question about the clean-feed policy. The survey was completed and verified 17,881 times, and the results prove what we've been saying all along - very few Australians want a filtered connection. In response to the question "Do you suppor ...

  • Budget funds the clean-feed

    The Labor budget is out, and - to our dismay - there is enough money in there to be dangerous when it comes to the clean-feed. About $150m is allocated to "cyber-safety", a lot of it for more sensible measures such as education and policing of illegal material. However, there is an ominous chunk of ...
