"Russell Harty"

Network:
BBC2

Discussion of Delius with Eric Fenby; short interview and `Dr.Hook' version of "Delius"

IED:

Kate shows her video for Delius; and discusses the music of Frederick Delius with Harty, Eric Fenby and Julian Lloyd Webber.
The program begins with Kate meeting Harty on stage, hiding a large hammer behind her back, and slyly promising not to hurt him. {A reference to Harty being hit by Grace Jones - CDW}
Later the Delius video is shown, and afterward Kate joins the group discussion about the British composer. Fenby is pressed for an opinion of Kate's song, and politely suggests that Delius would have applauded Kate for "at least doing her own thing." Harty patronizingly accuses Kate of intellectual pretensions in her choice of subjects for her songs, to which she ably and devastatingly replies that "music is pure emotion." Unfortunately Julian Lloyd Webber does not join in the brief and hurried discussion.
