| Andrew Gold (1951-2011) |
To remember the songs and musical legacy of Singer and Songwriter Andrew Gold, Offbeat will broadcast an hour long feature about his life and music on 30th July, a couple of days before his Birthday. Andrew Gold would have been sixty this year, but his life was cut short when he passed away on June 3rd, a few short weeks ago.
Offbeat presenter/producer Karishmeh Felfeli, spoke at length to Andrew's mother, the legendary singer Marni Nixon a couple of years ago for a portrait on her life. To honour Gold's memory and to offer some solace for Marni and family, Karishmeh will present a program dedicated to Andrew Gold's work and music - from his superb pop songs to his collaborations with everyone from Lennon to Joni Mitchell, as well as his work as a film and television composer over the years. Marni Nixon has acknowledged that this is possibly the best and only way to remember the prolific musician and song-writer while also bringing his work to listeners who may not be so familiar with it. It may only be a small consolation to a woman who has already been through so much in her life, as well as to Andrew Gold's own family who are still reeling from their loss.
Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy - A Portrait for Radio will air on Saturday 30th July at 9.00 p.m. on 103.2 Dublin City FM.
