Hello dear listener, I do hope you’ve had a great week. On today’s show I chat with the legendary songwriter Sir Tim Rice and play some of those memorable tracks from both stage and screen. 1972 is our destination in the second hour for the ‘Retro Rewind’, the year we first saw John Craven’s Newsround. Yes we know how the theme tune goes don’t we? I’ll also play some of the top tunes from the UK singles chart in May of that year.
Enjoy!
