No Rock And Roll Fun

PLAY IN A DAY TV: It's been ages since you could switch on the TV and learn how to play an instrument - not, surely, since the glory days of Rockschool, in fact. (Not to be confused with Rock Goes To College, which was quite different and not merely a higher level of study). Now, though, the chance to top up your wah-wahs while you watch is going to be made available all over again, with the launch of M-channel, a new service dedicated to allowing people to free their inner Clapton (or, at certain times, their inner Fatboy Slim). Of course, it might just allow people to sit around drinking beer and watching people play instruments rather than actually learning how to play them for themselves, but you never know.
