Sunday Delight – 12th April

Hello dear listener.  Here we are post-Easter and making the most of what we can that remains of the holiday. This weekend we’ve been looking skywards as well watching the safe return of the crew of the Artemis II Moon mission. What an achievement going further out into space than anyone has ever been before.

Today I’ve got another eclectic mix of fine tunes for you and in the ‘Retro Rewind’ I’ll be heading back to 1978 for a look at the April singles chart. It was also the year that Grange Hill began on our TV screens.  My guest today is former Grange Hill pupil Zammo McGuire, alias actor Lee MacDonald.

Enjoy!
