Ooo-er Missus ! It was time to give an airing to a few tracks I had put aside for the right time to play them – and this week was that week, being an exceptionally busy one for my quiz nights when a minimum of radio prep was required ! Whatever the state of my other activities, or lack of them you can always be sure that the tunes that make it onto the show will be at the very least interesting, bringing back a few nearly forgotten memories maybe and occasionally letting you hear something soulfully wonderful that may have passed you by back in the day. Here is what you can look forward to hearing on tomorrow’s repeat play at 5pm …

Jimmy Young – Times Are Tight
Leon Haywood – Don’t Push It Don’t Force It
