[cma-l] Charles Parker Radio Day - Sheffield 7th April

[CMA-L]

The Centre for Broadcasting History Research at Bournemouth University
<http://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/imcr/cbhr/index.html> established the Charles
Parker Day to celebrate not only Charles Parker and his work, but the radio
feature itself, its past, present and future. The first Charles Parker Day
was held in 2004 in Bournemouth (his birthplace) on his birthday, 5 April,
and included the launch of the first Charles Parker prize
<http://www.cpatrust.org.uk/prize>.

will be celebrated with the first manager of BBC Radio Sheffield (the
second station to come on air), Michael Barton, who went on to become
Controller of BBC Local Radio. There will be talk about about features and
documentaries in the early days; examining the Asian Radio scene in the UK
and looking at features made about the city of Sheffield.

The Charles Parker Trust hopes to see you in Sheffield on *Friday 7th April*!

The 2016 Charles Parker Day explored different ways of telling stories in
sound, from turning stories into song, songs into stories; from listening
to stories from our local community to hearing stories from around the
world in languages we don’t understand; stories from the creative minds of
writers to stories from the listeners themselves.  Here’s an account of the
Day’s events <http://www.cpatrust.org.uk/days/cpday16/>, and a link to photos
taken by Mike Hale <https://goo.gl/photos/qQLgULAgpBVdNUZx7> on the day.
