Apologies this is so late. It’s been a busy week! Anyway, less of the excuses and back to the music. Here it is, the much promised Chicken Special! 2hrs of chicken and chicken-related music. Possibly the daftest theme show we’ve done in a while. For such a specific subject-matter it’s actually pretty varied.

Back on Sunday with what we hope will be a standard show.

As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.

We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!

Sunday’s show, finally uploaded for your listening enjoyment. Fresh from our adventure in Chesterfield, 2 hours of pretty decent music. No theme this week. Just the two of us picking a bunch of songs from our “To Play” folder(s).

The next show is a bit up in the air as we were tempted to make a Sly Stone Tribute Show but honestly, that just feels like a lot of hard work and we won’t be able to do it justice.
