Coffee & Tea – 4th March

Happy Saturday!

Back in the studio for another week and as normal it flew by! A nice chilled out one today where I spoke about the MALA dance group who are down at The Towngate tonight. You can learn more about them on their website.

Here are the strange stories I mentioned this week:

• A smitten seal that has its own lookalike soft toy
• The demonic ‘tree of fire’ that burns from inside out
• Dipping pizza in milk is a thing now
• The coffee machine that Tom Hanks gifted to the White House

On this day in music:

• 1982, Frank Zappa’s son Dweezil and his daughter Moon Unit formed a band called Fred Zeppelin
• 2001, Shaggy featuring Rikrok went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘It Wasn’t Me’
• 2007, Take That went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘Shine’, their 10th UK No.1 single

In your celeb birthdays, we have:

• Brooklyn Becham, 18
• Erik Lamela, 25
• Rick Perry, 67

For your trip back in time:

Well… today was a bit of a different approach with the trip back in time. I played a dance remix of Madonna’s Music – which as I’m sure you can imagine, has no video.

You’re up to date for this week! I’ll be back on next Saturday from 12; until then, have a brilliant week!
