Here's one for the boffins out there...
I can remember distinctly a BBC TV programme which was on TV soon after I got my first guitar at the age of 7 and, in particular, the opening tune played at the top of the show. All I could remember about the presenter was that he had a beard...
Well, with the wonders of modern technology and, in particular, the BBC Genome project, which allows searching of listings from old Radio Times, it turns out that this programme was called 'Hold Down a Chord' and was presented by a guy called John Pearse. I searched for this programme on youtube, but there was only a short snippet - which did not include the opening tune.
So I'm still no further forward. Does anyone remember this programme and, in particular, what the opening tune was called?
Incidentally, although I had never heard of John Pearse, it turns out that he was a well known guitarist / teacher - and this 'Hold Down a Chord' concept may first have arisen in the 60s (according to Wikipedia, that is).
thanks for any contributions.
