Stuart Maconie currently does radio shows for the BBC in which he plays unusual music.

He is notable for having claimed to have found an unknown Delia track Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be published under the pseudonym Doris Hays.[1]. It was, in fact, by Sorrell Hays.

Quotes

Delia Derbyshire, born in Coventry, but her archive is kept in Manchester now and I went down there to listen to some tapes of hers that they'd never played before and we were listening to them and there was lots of unreleased Delia Derbyshire stuff and at the end there was a piece of music and they said "We don't know what this is. It's not Delia Derbyshire. It's some kind of rock group." and I said "I know who this is. It's Can." and, on the end of one of her tapes, she'd taped some Can off the radio so Delia Derbyshire was a Can fan.

In the same programme, Ian Potter recounts seeing the tapes arrive at Manchester.
