'Ready to Roll’ aims for more music
; More music and less talk | is the guideline for this I year’s series of the pop proI gramme “Ready to Roll.” I The show’s new producer, (Mark Westmoreland, plans j to lighten up on its presenta- ( tion. Plans include a greater ■emphasis on group music, a 150-50 ratio of local to overj seas talent, and he promises [increased interest in new “home grown” artists. The I new TVI series starts I tonight and will also be [ seen on Fridays. Westmoreland is also projducing “The Entertainers” ithis year and while conductling the audition tour, he will | be keeping an eye out for italent that will fit either or [both shows. The music for “Readv to
I Roll” will be taken largely from the top 40. It is expected to appeal to the 10 to 19-year-old group and there will be a ciear definition between it and the latenight music programme, “Grunt Machine.” Roger Gascoigne will front the show again this year, advising on chart movements, conducting brief interviews and presenting pop competitions.
