Tonight we marked International Women’s Day with a mix of recent tracks from female artists & female-fronted bands, including some great local performers. We also had the regular round of gig news, tracks to rock out and chill out to, and remembering 25 years ago this week when my teenage self was very excited about my 2 favourite bands at the time, Space and the Bluetones, releasing albums on the same day. I had toothache that day but walking home with Tin Planet in my bag made it more bearable…
