Thank you for rebroadcasting the David Sylvian Audio Diary. I'm 15 again and my friend Simon is playing me 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids' for the first time, and instilling a love for David's music that's lasted 45 years!

ASL interpreters at the Manic Street Preachers gig in the summer, first time I'd seen this and while I didn't understand their signing they looked to be having a great time while providing a valuable service to those that did. I'm all for this and long may it continue.
