So Kitsch it hurts !



Just when you thought it was safe up pops my second show 'Kitsch Klassics' again like a bad (pre-decimalised) penny.

I stepped into the breach on Saturday 13th October to cover the 8-10pm slot for another time for an affectionate & slightly tongue in cheek look back at the seventies & eighties. There's no pretence at being cool & cutting edge about this, just a load of great old tunes & a slight laugh at ourselves if your old enough to remember these first time.

Thank you to Dawn Morris & Colin Ringe of Brentwood for phoning in & also for 'Frostiy' & 'Ellyoxox' on the web cam chat room for their contributions as well.
