Just two hours of relaxing music, interspersed with a few news stories. Thanks to everyone who was in touch requesting songs tonight. It was good to have Lee back in the chatroom for the second hour after a week’s holiday and returning to 485 e-mails. It was amazing he found time for us! In the first hour it was good to welcome Drake in the chatroom. Good also have an e-mail from Susan and Ian, listening near Reading and having a free Friday evening to listen to the show live for the first time in a long time.
