It was great to be back with you on the radio this week after nearly a year away on hiatus (hiding) up in deepest, darkest Braintree. In this week’s show, we had some spiritual intervention from The Divine Comedy and paid tribute to the incredible voice of Steve Marriott. We recalled how Paul Weller was ‘influenced’ by George Harrison and looked forward to the return of the legendary Caister Soul Weekend. We played Gordon Taggart’s new single Be The Ones twice, because it should! Plus we remembered Luther, and when Desmond Dekker and The Dame enjoyed #1 records. Let’s see Alexa top that!
