Thank you for joining me for this week’s show, where we doffed our pork pie hat to Rhoda Dakar and her work of art with The Special AKA on The Boiler. We dipped our toe into the political sea on electioneering with Radiohead, The Jam and the Sex Pistols, before we returned to frolic on insanity beach with the American Music Club. We also said ‘how old?’ to Phil Oakey and shouted ‘BELL BOY’ to Sting. Plus our ‘what was the year?’ feature tested your chart knowledge by asking when did David Essex and The Police both enjoy #1 records that coincided with West Ham winning the FA Cup. LLTB!
