85.210.34.235 11:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)wouldn't it be nice to have a list of the bands who've been on OGWT and the dates or episodes or something? Amirman 14:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Right off you go ..... 8) Candy 12:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I found an episode list / guest list in transmission date order at the BFI website which might be of some use: http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/921 Once in there the Search feature should make it a bit easier to find who you're after. Oh, and those of you in the UK, why not get in touch with the BBC to encourage them to repeat all or some of the episodes - on BBC4 for instance http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/. All that stuff in the archive we only see glimpses of! Quillfiller 15:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

It's scanty but a start Candy 20:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Great, thanks for that link. I've been looking for a link to the OGWT guest for ages. User:Chilkoot

[edit] Looking for the names of two hosts of the OGWT

I am considering a page on the Hot Band that originated as a backup band with Emmylou Harris. I found a great interview from the Old Grey Whistle Test, but need the names of the hosts from the show who were interviewed on the following BBC Four program. I have never put a page together and could also use some help if anyone feels any interest! Please see this clip I found on You Tube- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvZackpkRRU Emmylou Harris - Gram's death and Hot Band formation] Can someone pinpoint the Old Grey Whistle Test hosts? I do need a little help here. --leahtwosaints 22:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OGWT is running on Perfromance Channel

OGWT is running on Perfromance Channel (available on Sky in UK) with single artist programmes including Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Manhattan Transfer and Hall & Oates. I note that these are all US artists so it may have something to do with copyright. Royzee (talk) 17:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
