I was delighted to be joined in the studio tonight by Roy Quiddington from the Stroke Association. See the special blog for more info on what was a fascinating and interesting conversation and hear Roy. We clearly all need to know more. Check out the Stroke Association website for more info.

Tonight we had requests for Neil Young from Richard in Ingatestone and Ken in Oxford. We all sang along to Heart of Gold and remembered our youth! Michael wanted a track by Katie Melua for his mother Sheila. We also heard from Sue in Kentucky wanting the theme from Dallas and we had a number of e-mails in response from people saying how much they enjoyed hearing it. Tracks tonight from Santana, Lady Antebellum, Coldplay, Caro Emerald, Alison Kraus and Spandau Ballett amongst others. I will be sitting in for Stephen on The Way It Used To Be on Wednesday, when it will be non-spot 80s. So maybe more Spandau Ballett, Police, Alison Moyet etc etc. If you cannot make that, see you again next Friday. And don’t forget our feature for the one track you could not live without and the book and luxury you would need as a cast away. Next Friday is also my birthday. What better way to spend it!
