The usual great mix music wise this morning, from current songs by the likes of Imelda May and Aloe Blacc alongside classics from Squeeze, Queen and Kate Bush – not forgetting another song that was Acceptable in the 80s, for which I gave the clue:

The singer-songwriter responsible for this synth-pop song wrote it to all his friends.”*

We also heard briefly from our newest aspiring presenter, Brian Ager, who’s planning a show showcasing artists outside the commercial mainstream – such as Barrence Whitfield, described as a veteran R&B firebrand, a song from whom we heard as a taster of what to expect.
