All Night Long with Ravi Sagoo... week one

Well folks I got through the first week of All Night Long quite merrily, helped by the lovely welcome I received from everyone across the station, and you the BBC Radio Scotland listener... Many thanks for all your kind and warm welcoming messages on the show.

Already I have heard from a wide array of night owls tuning in to All Night Long from bus & taxi drivers, lovers of late night music, students up late cramming for exams (good luck to all students this month and next!) to mums and dads up doing the nightly feeds - in fact we've even had our first baby on the show - not mine may I add!

A jubilant listener texted in within a week of giving birth saying both Mum and baby doing just fine and were listening into the show - a great way to introduce baby to lots of great music - that kid's going to have good musical taste!

I'm truly enjoying embracing BBC Radio Scotland's wide and rich music repertoire that the show incorporates...we're playing some great tunes from all corners of the globe including jazz & blues, rock & indie, folk, americana, country, traditional song and dance to celtic & world as well songs on the BBC Radio Scotland playlist.

My own body clock has been in disarray itself this past week trying to adjust to my new nocturnal lifestyle which is inevitable after the first week, definitely down to the adrenalin of launching the show.

So all in all up and running and very much looking forward to the weeks and months ahead...catching a few gigs and looking forward to bringing you next week's potted history of our Artist of the Week, Bob Dylan....oh and looking forward to hearing your suggestions which you can email to ravi@bbc.co.uk for 'First Pressing' where I will be playing your all-time favourite vinyl classics...including this piece of vinyl from a local band... WOODENBOX from A Fistful of Fivers.
