David Arnold on John Barry


Lewis Durham's exhibit at the Riflemaker Gallery excited Jarvis - it was a 1950s recording studio where you could cut a record. He plays Percy Thrower's February gardening advice and a version of Hey Joe. On This Day, the first integrated circuit was patented by Jack Kilby, who also invented the pocket calculator: Jarvis reveals that in the studio he has the very BeeGees Rhythm Machine on which Kraftwerk played that song. Composer David Arnold pays tribute to his late friend John Barry. As a child, he was thrilled by John's unique music and cool 60s lifestyle - he loved John's use of rasping brass and quirky instruments. He discusses taking on the mantle of composing Bond scores. Birthdays: Mamie Van Doren, Eva Braun, Patrick Macnee, Denis Norden, Rip Torn, Jimmy Tarbuck, Axl Rose, Bob Marley, Christian Friedrich Heinecken (a child prodigy), Thurl Ravenscroft and Jens Lekman.
