The main focus of this week’s show was to look ahead to what turned out to be a fantastic afternoon of celebrations in the town centre for Lighting Up Brentwood, all held together by Phoenix FM. Tony Smith set the scene for a very packed programme on the main stage, while Bob Simpson outlined what to expect in Crown Street – and we heard songs from two of the excellent acts taking part, Rajiv and Loretta.

My Word Up! song was also relevant to the afternoon’s goings on – I gave you these lines:

Separate your right from wrongs, come and sing a different song. The kettle’s on – so don’t be long, mon cher!”*

*The Word Up! song was Robbie Willialms’ Let Me Entertain You:Word Up – Robbie Williams – Let me entertain you
