Informal reception reports as well as those requesting eQSL welcome. The website is www.tumbril.co.uk where we show transmission times and frequencies, the playlist for the most recent programme, more information about Radio Tumbril, and the email link.   This week's programme  starts with some classical guitar, then part of a string quartet by contemporary composer Kenneth Fuchs. Next, three songs about a wandering miller by Schubert, a piano trio and two very different pieces featuring the harpsichord. The programme concludes with a couple of tarantellas and part of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The usual mix of old and newer works for a variety of instruments - including the human voice. Another gentle show this one - I hope folks enjoy it.   Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
