Friday Night Extra 15.4.16

After such a wet afternoon, it was good to just chill a little this evening. We thought about memories of the show Blakes 7 with the passing of actor Gareth Thomas who played Roj Blake in the iconic BBC series. Paul contacted to say that he still loves watching the show. We also remembered Phil Sayers, the voice of “Mind the gap” on the London Underground in recent years. The most talked about item was when I played Taurus by Spirit. This is the track which it is being decided in an L.A. Courtroom on May 10th if it was copied in the intro to Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. We also heard that Sir Walter Scott wrote anonymous critical reviews of his work to stir up public interest. I wonder about some of the reviews on a well known on-line retailer.

Tonight’s playlist
Booker T & MGs – Crazy – show theme
Toto – Africa – for Rene
Men at work – Down-under
U2 – Everlasting love
Carrie Underwood – Chaser
Dolly Parton – I really got the feeling – requested by Michael
Icehouse – Hey little girl
Aled Jones – Eriskay love lilt – requested by Phyl
Robere Plant – If I were a carpenter – suggested by Lee
Ring Starr – Octopusses garden
Beatles – Hey Jude
Focus – Sylvia
Lady Antebellum – Golden
Francesca Battistelli – This is the stuff
Supertramp – requested by Chris who is going to see them live soon.
John Hepbir Quartet – Fly me to the moon – suggested by Helen in Rhodes
Elvis Presley & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – In the ghetto
Talk Talk – Its my life – requested by Patrick
Spirit – Taurus – loved by listeners who thought it sounded very familiar.
The Shires – All over again
Lightening Seeds – Life of Riley – requested by Bob
Nathalie Cole – This will be
Marvin Gaye – I heard it through the grapevine – for Sue, Leonard and Lauren in USA.
Zombies – Moving on
George Martin – Theme 1 – closing theme.

For the next two weeks the show will be in the capable hands of Rob Harvey. Join me on the first Friday in May, my fifth anniversary of Friday evenings on Phoenix98FM.
