Both stories have been recorded for the Underground Edition and were co-produced by the late, and very talented Kevin Burtonshaw. I had known Kevin since 1979, when he assisted at my first radio audition. Originally, both stories were recorded for Hospital Radio in the early 1980s. Kevin was fascinated by the Legend of Spring Heel9ed Jack. He aslo found it hilarious that I spooked myself with the Trail of the Devils Footprints!
When I was able to re-record them at the Celtica Radio facility I asked him to work on both of them with me. Kevin provided the sound effect voices on both. These new recordings are significantly better productions than the originals, benefiting from the multitrack facilities. More co-productions were planned but Kevin died from epilepsy. It was a crushing blow.
Being able to broadcast these recordings from my archive keeps Kevin's memory alive. Spring heeled Jack is also scheduled for broadcast some time in the future.
Is this related to the legend of Spring Heeled Jack ?
ReplyDeleteSort of Mish.
