Big thanks to Graham Stannard for doing a sterling job as always sitting in for me yesterday while I headed off to Milton Keynes for a training day for the day job.

The absence of a live band/artist joining me on Live At Five gave us the perfect excuse to take a look back at everyone that had popped in for a chat and/or an acoustic session since the beginning of the year – a perfect reminder of just how much musical talent there is in Essex and its borders. It also gave us a chance to reflect on the placings on our Drive Name That Tune Challenge 2011 – with Athenia propping up the leaderboard whilst The Shame had no shame in scoring 19 out of 20 and coming out on top. Here it is in full so far:
