This week’s show was dedicated to Paul Weller’s ahead of his 64th Birthday, as he is still the leading British rock musician of his generation.
We recalled when Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy set themselves apart from the rest of the bands emerging at the time, by taking a poem by William Wordsworth to use as their debut single.
We celebrated Dave Peacock’s birthday, begun our countdown to the next Great Yarmouth Soul Weekender with a joyful choon from Earth, Wind & Fire. We gave thanks for The Dame and looked forward to the arrival in London of Cameo.
We also tested your lyrical knowledge from The Godmother of Soul, and in which year The Beatles and The Dandy Highwayman were both #1?
Tuesday night’s show was presented with a can of Carling, and you can get drunk on the show’s love, by clicking on the link below and giving the show a listen.
