a cello sings in daventry (feat. seth lakeman) - public service broadcasting lyrics

at this stage, the bbc passes from preparations to programmes
there are many performers, many subjects, many methods of transmission
through the aerials of the bbc, widespread across the country, a new medium of education and entertainment is in the course of development

droitwich, 200 kilocycles, 1,500m
london, 1,149 kilocycles, 261.1m
north, 1,013 kilocycles, 296.2m

prime minister stanley baldwin to lord reith:
“the opening of the wireless broadcasting station at daventry
the highest power station at present in the world
will give no fewer than 20 million people the opportunity to receive both education and entertainment by means of cheap and simple apparatus
and i look upon daventry as another milestone on the road to the social betterment of our people.”
a cello sings in daventry
that is all that matters now to me
o, greater than all fancied wonderlands
this wonder that i hold in mine own hands

a cello sings in daventry
a stranger plays my heart to rest
and sets me free

a cello sings from out beyond the sea
radio’s mystery
radio’s mystery
radio’s mystery
radio’s mystery
radio’s mystery
