Tonight’s playlist
Booker T & MGs – Crazy
Pentatonix – Na Na Na – first time we have played this track. Judging by listener reaction, it will not be the last time.
Marvin Gaye – Too busy thinking about my baby
Coldplay – Fix you – chosen by Archdeacon Elizabeth Snowden

Walk of the Earth – Happy – chosen by Rob Scaggs from the charity CHESS
Dream Academy – Life in a northern town.
Inspector Morse theme
Fleetwood Mac – Seven wonders – requested by Rene
Four Tops – Walk away Renee – for John. Rene told us this had once been sung to her down the phone by Paul Rogers, at the time lead singer of Free. She handled his car insurance and he had had a bang and did not want Rene to be angry and walk away.
Joe Stilgoe – What’s on – I saw Joe perform as part of the Maldon festival. His trio were great.
Neil Diamond – Beautiful noise – for Patrick, also a track by chosen by Arch Deacon Elizabeth Snowden to illustrate the first Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Beach Boys – That’s why God made the radio
Carole King – So far away – with the news that the musical about her life and music is about to close in the West End.
ELO – Show a little love – a track from 1978 that we had all forgotten. It was a no 1 in Canada, no2 in France, No4 in Ireland, no6 in UK and no8 in USA. So we should have remembered it!
Stevie Wonder – Have a talk with God
Coldplay – Adventure of a lifetime – for guest Helen who had retired and moved to live on the Island of Rhodes.
Unit 4 =+ 2 – Concrete and clay – chosen by last week’s guest Caroline Seville who had talked about all that happens at Doddinghurst church and that it was not made of these materials.

They will be talking about these voluntary roles they have taken up in retirement. Join us next Friday for Friday Night Extra, live from our studios in Brentwood.
