RADIO 2's BIG BAND (EDM399)

RADIO 2's BIG BAND

EDM number 399 in 1993-94, proposed by Gerry Steinberg on 20/01/1994.

That this House greatly regrets the decision by the BBC to end direct funding for Radio 2's Big Band as of 31st March; notes that Big Band music approximates only 2 per cent. of Radio 2's total output, which suggests that the decision is financially rather than editorially motivated; is concerned that many music listeners and musicians throughout the United Kingdom will be deprived of a valuable source of live music entertainment should the unit cease to exist; and calls on the BBC to maintain the Big Band as part of its in-house musical base.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
