This website will remain for the foreseeable future if you want to look back on the guests photos and choices of music. So a;though we didn't realize it at the time, Ian Welborns show was the last one (presented by me anyway.
Ian's choices are listed below.

ABOUT
Stony Tracks is like Desert Island Discs, but with photos of the guests life on the big screen, and like on the radio the guest chooses 8 pieces of music.
I believe that everyone's life is interesting, and my hope is that you'll come to the shows irrespective of whether you know the guest or not.
The shows are on the second Wednesday of most months in the Beechey Room at York House.

I got the idea for Stony Tracks when I was at a festival in 2017 and there were a couple of 'Desert Island Disc' events featuring artists who were performing at the festival.
I've built on the concept by using PowerPoint to show photo's of the guest's lives, and play the tracks from YouTube if available.
I don't impose The Bible & The Complete Works of Shakespeare on the guests, but of course some guests do choose them.

At Pat Nicholson's show, he presented me with a poem he'd written about his take on how Stony Tracks started. See photo.

‘I’m a poet, songwriter, birder and flyer, with a head full of unicorns but feet on the ground. My childhood was bluebell springs and blackberry autumns. Mum created, dug, and scrubbed things, Nan baked, mended and fussed. Dad arm-chaired, and read to us - Wordsworth, Keats, Shakespeare and The Morning Star - and sang opera. We went on a dawn walk, once, to see hares, and planets. With my brothers, and others, I played cricket on the golf course, and made snowballs and ate apple fritters. Then one day we all grew up. I taught, married, enabled, volunteered, performed, knitted. I discovered, and moved to, Stony Stratford. Life is rich, full, with even more words, too much wool, and never enough time for friends, or flies. And unicorns…..’
