大象传媒

Jazz singer, George Melly bought his house near Brecon, Powys, partly to escape music and partly to indulge his love of fishing. As he goes 'Down Your Way' in the Usk Valley - between Brecon and Abergavenny, George reveals how jazz has followed him to Wales - and how fishing may be under threat.

Down Your Way was a schedule staple for decades - starting on the 大象传媒 Home Service in 1946 and ending its run on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in 1992. Using a variety of hosts, including Richard Dimbleby and Brian Johnston, the programme toured villages, towns and cities across the UK. At the height of the series' success in the 1950s, it was attracting ten million listeners a week.

George Melly was born in 1926 and died in 2007.

Producer: Kerry McGeever
