Good morning groovers, Wednesday already, breaking sunny in these parts. Enjoyed all the 1971 stuff yesterday- some great music indeed. Then an interesting chat with young Jules/Joolz before heading to see Muse at the O2 on London. Equipped with my solitary bottle of £6.50 beer, I proceeded to show just the right amount of enthusiasm without embarrassing child 3. We don’t play a lot of Muse on account of them being dead noisy and everything but they put on a spectacular show. I could do with a tad more communication with the crowd-just a little more than ‘Hello London’ would be nice-but they know their crowd and sent them home happy. And there were loads of oldies there too so relief all round…
So today we talk to best selling author Harlen Coben, his latest best seller is Fool Me Once AND he has written a new 10 part drama for Sky called The Five about five friends who are changed forever by a childhood tragedy. This mans knows how to tell a story-hear Harlen after 6.
And as Radio 2 50s kicks off tomorrow at midday, the latest of our pop-up services gives us the perfect opportunity to have oldies that celebrate the style, the fashion and THE FIFTIES. They can be from the fifties or just about the fifties, whichever you fancy...
