Last night at 10pm I managed to delete the work that I had done on the edit of today's show. After a very late night, I have finished it, and now I am broadcasting at 12 on @radioabbey.bsky.social (and listen again later on mixcloud)

Dug this out to show a friend but for the fun of it I thought that I'd put it on here too - In 1989 I got to perform at the National Theatre Still one of the highlights of my life❤️

A clue to what might be in this week's show

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yes, it was definitely post Crawford. I know that I would never have thrown the programmes out, the question is, where could they be after 35+ years. Hopefully in my house and not my parents'.

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Looking at the history - maybe I did! Hopefully one day I will find my oldest programmes. My brother and I were discussing a while back, did we see Linizi Hateley as Eponine? I need to know these things

Oooh, now there's a question. I don't think so, he's from my home town area, my Mum used to work with his wife, I think that she'd have made a big thing about it if it was. I have lost my early programmes. Is there a site that says who was on when? I think we saw Jan Hartley Morris? as Christine

It's Friday, so I have another show to offer That is after all the reason that I am on here Not just to chat randomly to people that I don't know (which I enjoy much more than trying to plug the show) www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

That's ridiculous, they really are trying to destroy that platform aren't they. First they fill it with rubbish so you can't find what you want or see your friends, then they stop it from being useful.

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I haven't been told that, but I started putting the link in comments a few months ago anyway because I was told that FB likes to hide the posts with links in to stop you from leaving.

I'm told my show has the best curated playlist of any MT broadcast. I struggle to get listeners though, there's a lot fighting for your time, & it's just me promoting it. So, I am begging a favour - give it a go, just once, & if you like it, please say so www.mixcloud.com/showtune

Happy Birthday to the woman who first sparked my love of musicals - the incomparable Dame Julie Andrews🥳 Thank-you for a lifetime of joy😍

Absolutely fantastic, congratulations to @the-rsc.bsky.social and Daniel Evans on this hilarious and visually stunning production with the most gorgeous music from Theo Jamieson . A wonderful cast, so much talent, great timing and Jonathan Groff was everything that I hoped he'd be♥️

I have had the lovliest feedback on this episode from a few people who said that they didn't truly appreciate Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel until they listened to Barry talk about it www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

This year's @radioabbey.bsky.social quiz is on halloween, so somebody suggested costumes, and well, I have to do something Musical Theatre based, so now I am scaling up a costume that I made for my daughter when she was 4 (she was Wicked obsessed) - never done this before, wish me luck!

In November I am going to be working 2 days a week in London (on a project that I am not allowed to talk about yet) This means that I won't have time to produce new shows and I don't have enough time in a week to do them in advance. Unless I can do an interview well in advance...

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This week has been nuts, I have completely lost track of what day it is, but apparently it's Friday, so I am on @radioabbey.bsky.social at 12

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

There has been a change of plan - due to illness, The Shows We Used To Know at The Tree House Bookshop has been postponed until Oct 18th. We really would love to see you there! www.treehousebookshop.co.uk/events/2026/...

In other news, I now have a license to drive a fork lift truck - you don't get that with celebrity radio hosts😂😂😂

Is anyone else having issues with @castalbums.org it says that it has blocked me. It's an essential research site for a show like mine

I'm bringing this lovely West End cabaret to The Tree House Bookshop #Kenilworth next Sunday 27th What could be more lovely than Musical Theatre in a Bookshop? www.treehousebookshop.co.uk/events/2026/... Tickets still available

The Shows We Used to Know

Robert Hazle and Helena Northcote sing songs from forgotten British musicals, the favourites and the flops.

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

5 years in, lots of lovely feedback & I am still nervous every time I put a show out. I'd love to find a way to reach a wider audience, but it's hard without the power of an established station behind me or a name to sell. Someone suggested I should get it reviewed, but the thought terrifies me

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

This week I've a song from Rodgers and Hart's biggest flop, 2 numbers from early British Musicals to give a taster of The Shows We Used To Know (coming to The Tree House Bookshop Sunday the 27th @ 5pm) + usual mix of songs from all eras & bit of trivia www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I am going to be working in London 2 days a week in November and won't have time to research, write and record the show in its current format. Trying to think of things that I can do to build some in advance (bearing in mind that I have to produce a weekly show up until Nov too)

I wish that there was a version of the Wetherspoons game that involved books. I need so many books😂

000

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The comments that I get that make me happiest are that people love the range of shows that I feature, and the depth of the research that goes into each programme - because that's what this show is about. I have achieved my aims www.mixcloud.com/showtune

And then they wonder why we are living in a world without empathy and humanity

010

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I don't do reviews because I don't want to ever have to be negative about something that people put their heart and soul into. It does mean that I will always be on the outside of the circle looking in though.😞

010

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Yes, the first reaction that I get from people is that I must be rich. I only ever buy the cheapest tickets though. We calculated the other day that my theatre habit cost a lot less than my colleagues smoking. There is a lot that I can't go and see now though.

Showtune on Radio Abbey (Vicki) @showtunera.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

If you love Rodgers and Hammerstein, please give this a listen (or even a share) Barry was wonderful to chat to. www.mixcloud.com/RadioAbbey/s...
