Derek Taylor's Americana BackpackDerek Taylor
Friday evenings,9-11pm on Radio Caroline Flashback
County Down born Derek Taylor had his first taste of broadcasting on BFBS in Aden in 1966, where his father was serving in the British Army, hosting the weekly Get With It Club! Back in England he worked as a night club DJ before entering drama college and then university. Graduating in 1979, he joined the BBC World Service, working on The Weekly Echo.
From there his broadcasting career took him to BBC Radio Suffolk, where he presented a weekly arts show. But he fell out badly with the programme organiser over the anti-war song "Gallipoli". Apparently the song was too long and therefore too costly for the BBC to play. He was told he would never work for the BBC again, and hasn't.
Derek next joined a group applying for a local radio license in Folkestone/Dover Kent, producing and presenting the news and the drive-time show. From there he moved to Thanet Radio and presented a country music show.
In 1992 Derek discovered the British Archive of Country Music where he has worked ever since as an Archivist. The Archive has nearly a million country music recordings scanning the whole history of country music and its roots. It's this collection that forms the basis for his Archive Roots Americana Show on Radio Caroline.
Derek Taylor has also written ten western novels, all still in print. He can't think why, other than the fact that he loves cowboy music!

Though carols are traditionally associated with Christmas, this was not always the case. “Carol” comes from the French word 'carole' which means circle dance accompanied by singing. It was part of any festivity and gradually came to be associated with holidays like Christmas. In England, festivities were banned following the Civil War and Protestantism, but many song writers and Protestants wrote musical works to be sung at Christmas and these were referred to as “carols.”
Today, Christmas anywhere in the world is incomplete without carol singers and songs. They celebrate the season, the birth of Christ, the joy of the holidays and convey good wishes and cheer to listeners. Many famous carols are written in German, French and Latin as well as English.
The Christmas Carol Collection by Various includes some traditional and some modern day carols, all of which embody the spirit of the festive season. The first one, Christ Was Born on Christmas Day is a 13th century song, which was once very popular all over Europe. The original Latin was translated by John Mason Neale, an eminent English clergyman, in the nineteenth century. American lyricist Charlotte Homer's delightful 1902 Christmas Lullaby follows next, set to music by Charles Gabriel Hutchinson.
The famous and charming carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, which was once a popular English folk song is also included here. It was first published in England in 1780 without music and was meant to be chanted. Come All You Merry Gentlemen, a 19th century song, follows. Est ist ein Ros entsprungen a beautiful 15th century German carol is next on the list. This song may be more familiar as Lo How a Rose e'er Blooming to the English speaking world. Gesu Bambino, a delightful Italian song was set to music by Frederick Herman Martens. The famous African-American gospel song, Go Tell it on the Mountain is a rousing anthem to the glory of God. A fifteenth century Sussex carol, the 19th century Boston carol, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, the traditional yet popular English carol I Saw Three Ships, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's charming I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day, Eduard Ebel's 1895 German song, Leise Reiselt der Schnee and more are included in this collection.
These lovely carols invoke the theme of this most enjoyable festival, which conveys the message of hope and eternal life hereafter.

Paléoanthropologie du genre Homo - Jean-Jacques HublinCollège de France
Jean-Jacques Hublin est paléoanthropologue, auteur de nombreux travaux sur l'évolution des néandertaliens et sur les origines africaines des hommes modernes. Il a joué un rôle pionnier dans le développement de la paléoanthropologie virtuelle, qui fait largement appel aux techniques de l'imagerie médicale et industrielle et à l'informatique pour reconstituer et analyser les restes fossiles. Il s'est aussi intéressé à l'évolution des rythmes de croissance et au développement cérébral chez les hominidés ainsi qu'à l'histoire de sa discipline. Après une carrière de chercheur au Centre national de recherche scientifique, Jean-Jacques Hublin à été nommé professeur à l'université de Bordeaux 1 (1999). Il est depuis 2004 professeur à l'Institut Max Planck d'Anthropologie Evolutionnaire de Leipzig (Allemagne) où il a créé le Département d'Évolution humaine. Il a enseigné à l'Université de Californie à Berkeley (1992), à l'Université d'Harvard (1997) et à l'Université de Stanford (1999 et 2011). Depuis 2010, il dispense régulièrement des cours à l'Université de Leiden (Pays-Bas). En 2011, il a été choisi pour être le premier Président de la Société européenne pour l'étude de l'évolution humaine (ESHE) nouvellement fondée.
