This funky little jazz band illustration was to be found on Radio Tay's envelopes back in the early 80's. If you were lucky enough to win tickets in one of their competitions for example, you'd receive them in an envelope with this artwork printed on it. I don't think all of Radio Tay used it, I reckon it was probably only Alan Steadman who did. This is who the above one came from anyway.Alan's show "Jazz Waves" has gone on to become Scotland's longest running jazz programme.
Unfortunately, I can't make out the artist's signature, so don't know who drew it.
I've saw a few envelopes from Radio Tay in the early 80's but never with that logo. It was always the old logo with Radio Tay written on the ones I saw. I'll email one of the old Radio Tay Presenters he may be able to shed some light on it.
ReplyDeleteSome might be interested in this it's a video made up of Old Radio Tay jingles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1opQkHH-hg
Excellent wee bit of artwork.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork didn't ring any bells with the former Radio Tay presenter I emailed. He did suggest that Alan Steadman might be able to throw some light on this. His contact email at Tay would be alan.steadman@radiotay.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI think these might have been linked to when one of Dundee's Jazz Festivals was running. Probably just a short lived promo thing.
