Blowing live on air from 8pm tonight with' something a little bit different' (the gusts should calm down during the show, then it'll feel milder) . I'll be recognising two transport anniversaries, from this weekend, as well as one major pop anniversary too. A fab photo of 'him'

(I don't normally let on though . . ) I'm opening tonight's live all vinyl show with three Kings and, as I consider this to be the Twelfth Night I will be, following them with a drummer 'boy' who grew up in Cirencester (twelve drumming-only singles might get a bit tedious lol!).
