I’ve been aware of Andy Rutherford audio for a couple of years but unsuccessful trying to get a reply.
He doesn’t seem to be in contact with anyone I know, but he does appear on the Irvine Beat
community station in Ayrshire.
He clearly has a LOT of classic jingles audio for/from Scottish stations, including items that I’ve not
heard in-the-clear or in good quality from any of the “usual sources”. He’s definitely had some
kind of “Inside track” in the past I think.
A lot of pre-internet-era jingles audio from these parts never really “got out”, often due to the
producers not being the usual “mainstream” UK ones or the well-known UK sales agents for
the USA producers. Anything from the SoundHouse/Balfe/Highland Studios setup particularly.
I think he may well have a “goldmine” of rare audio, but I don’t know if he knows this Forum and its
many solid & reliable UK collectors exists. It would be great to hear from him!
I’ll have an other shot at contacting him
