Welcome to WWTSlimbridge and day one of BBCRadio3 Breakfast from Gloucestershire, Somerset and taking you to the Proms at Bristol next weekend. And this morning there's live music from folk stars Miranda Rutter, Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron. 6.30-9.30am all week
Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Not often can you broadcast from your very own Swan Lake! A lovely gentle start to the week.
Loved your reference to Gloucester just now. The docks are a little-known gem, so many visitors only see the spectacular cathedral. But I never knew the figures on that shop represent the four UK nations, despite passing them many time while working at the @threechoirs.bsky.social
Salubrious watching area
As a bird-lover, thoroughly enjoying being transported to Slimbridge this morning.Thank you!
Really enjoying this morning's edition from Slimbridge. Great to hear a concertina making one of its rare appearances on Radio 3 - Rob Harbron is a fine player
You were living your best life by the sounds of things! Great programme this morning - am looking forward to the rest of the roadtrip
Enjoyed @samsweeney.bsky.social, Rob and Miranda playing. Nice to hear a bit of folk at the start of the week.
Thank you!!! What a great week, ears pricked up hearing that @samsweeney.bsky.social was joining you & so we discovered Miranda’s tunes - so clever & beautifully realised 🎶 ✨Bird Tunes 💿 arrived today so we can listen to it whenever we like✨ Wonderfully fabulously brilliant! 😍🎻
