All change ! This week’s show was first broadcast when the temperature was on the way up to over 30 degrees, but of course Britain being Britain, here we are shivering five days later with our clothes still drying out from yesterday and thinking of putting a jumper on for the first time since April !!
I know it’s REALLY boring to talk about the weather, but those three searingly HOT days have totally melted my brain and it is unlikely to self-repair until Monday, so let me just point you in the direction of some great soul, jazz-funk & disco tuneage on your radio from 5pm this evening on the repeat play of my show …
