An extra hour of The Sunday Replay today gave us the opportunity to relive and review the Brentwood Strawberry Fair yesterday. A great time was had by all including several Phoenix FM presenters. The entertainment was hosted by Phoenix FM and in particular Tony Smith who did a great job keeping the crowds entertained in between many excellent local acts. We heard several interviews recorded on the day by many of the Phoenix presenters who were there on the day, interspersed with the following music –
Abba – Dancing Queen
Jamelia – See It in a Boy’s Eyes
Babybird – You’re Gorgeous
Jamie Cullum – These are the Days
Jamiroquai – Love Foolosophy
J Geils Band – Centrefold
The Jam – That’s Entertainment
