BBC Schools & Ceefax instrumental
Hi.
Don't know if I have come through to the correct section? As someone who enjoyed test card music on pre digital television, I have been trying to discover an instrumental that was used before BBC Schools and Ceefax programmes for ages. It finally got played on Radio Caroline as a filler between the end of one track before the start of another show. It was called "Bart" by the American rock band Ruby with Tom Fogherty. Anyone else remembers this great track, I know many vintage television engineers would like to know this fact. Cheers Mike |

I remember it well from primary school in the 1970s, although I didn't know its title at the time. I have it on a CD called 'Watch With Teacher' I bought from Winchester Hospital Radio about ten years ago.

The song is called Bart, released by a group called Ruby in the mid 70's
