On this week’s Musical Meanderings I had the extra pleasure of an extra hour and started at 9pm. It gave me more time to enjoy my metal roots as I celebrated the Download festival from the previous weekend. I have great memories of enjoyable times at Donington during the Monsters Of Rock era, now it continues with full power as Download and there were many great stories emerging of how many people enjoyed the weekend, despite the mud mayhem that had to be endured. I played songs from bands that played over the weekend, along with many personal favourites from over the years.
