Well, I made it to 100 shows. So as this was the 100th time I hosted this show I felt it was only natural to have my bandmates from Finding Miranda come in to have a chat.

Order of the day? Well I booked a session at Creative Studios on the A128 to have a gathering of local musicians who I have had on the show previous to play three or four songs to be played especially for the show. Also it seemed an appropriate occasion to play new Finding Miranda material on the show.

So the songs below which were recorded by the artists at Creative Studios are the ones in bold. It was quite a show, which you can hear in full underneath this weeks playlist.

I also couldn’t resist getting my bandmates to participate in 50 Grade Smarter, my weekly quiz for guests on my show. Are my pals smart enough to compete with the best?

Well actually it turns out they’re not too bad. In fact they are 4th in the rankings. It may not be enough to get them in the final. But it was a worthy effort.
