    The Registry of Guitar Tutors (RGT) The End of an Era

    In this episode I am talking to Max Milligan, Dave Jones, and Barry Kitchen who have all been guitar examiners for the RGT over the last 30 years and we discuss how positive it had been in the role of guitar education in that time, and it's decline after being taken over by LCME exams.

    This is a great discussion with some very highly respected examiners and guitarists as they tell their own stories about their involvement over the years.

    Emma Fairthorne Anathema - Dedicated Witchcraft Emporium

    Set in a beautiful Victorian arcade in Boscombe near Bournemouth Emma has created a fabulous little shop and runs regular markets and talks

    Normally these quirky little shops do not have much in the way of footfall unless they are in London. Anathema is an exception to this and is a little hub that draws lots of interest in the area.

    We talk about her journey and it is one of taking life experiences and moulding them.

    Having the ability to be open to some very unusual opportunities such as glass blowing, screen printing and the unusual meetings with people who become teachers.

    Great chat.

  • Ann Morris Electronic Voice Phenomena: The unwitting manifestation of anomalous sounds on to audio recording equipment

    Ann Morris Electronic Voice Phenomena: The unwitting manifestation of anomalous sounds on to audio recording equipment
    Oct 19 2025
    Ann Morris Electronic Voice Phenomena: The unwitting manifestation of anomalous sounds on to audio recording equipment. In this episode I am talking to the wonderful Ann Morris who has over a number of years and many hours of sitting late at night recording in prisons, old forts, battlefields and places of trauma. She studies and records EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomena: The unwitting manifestation of anomalous sounds on to audio recording equipment. These voices appear on the recording on playback. These are then meticulously documented and researched. This just happens to be close to Halloween but I have been trying to get Ann on the program for a couple of years so I am really pleased that she could finally make it. This is a brilliant episode Here are Ann's notes to her work. Ok, here goes… I investigate EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomena: The unwitting manifestation of anomalous sounds on to audio recording equipment. I believe that EVP is a link to the disembodied consciousness. • At the time of recording absolutely nothing is heard – it is only upon playback that these sounds (often voices) become apparent. The sounds are of frequencies undetectable by the human ear 'in the moment'. • These sounds/voices are not echoes. They are not from what we would deem to be 'the past' – they are very much in the here and now, and right with us. Many of my captures are of an intelligent nature, often using my name, calling out, interacting. Of course I am unaware of this until later, but because I'm a frequent visitor, I can always pop back to the same place and try to encourage interaction at another time. I have several communicators who I recognise – Mr Romeo, as I call him, who's always uttering lovely things. He's not always in the same place, and I've recorded him all over the prison. Then there's 'Sam' – on 3 separate occasions he was named, and then on my asking, a gent' answered my questions within mere seconds of my speaking. That's 3 different dates, the same man replying, in the same cell. I have called him Frank – I don't know why! • I record alone to minimise audio pollution on location – a double edge sword, because the critics will say that I am at liberty to fake my recordings. I give my absolute 100% guarantee that I never have, and never will, fake anything. All of my work is genuine. • I have been interested in EVP since around 2009 when I first heard of it, and since 2010, actively researching and investigating. • Anyone can do this, and anywhere. You do not have to be in a 'haunted' environment. At this point, I'd just like to clarify something that bugs me a little. The stereotypical acceptance of what 'haunted' means. Personally, the word 'haunted' to me, means a place that consistently produces anomalous phenomena. Weird stuff. Paranormal activity. And, whilst I'm at it, another word that tends to get bandied around as a 'one size fits all' misnomer, is 'paranormal', simply meaning something that physics cannot explain. Does this mean that things can't exist beyond the boundaries of science? No! And EVP is just one such example – because I assure you, that it is very real indeed. This also goes for all other forms of anomalous phenomena too, which although may appear different, is I believe, intimately and ultimately connected. (I have had many other experiences that give credence to this!).
