Forever and a day

Presenter
Up with the (non existent) lark, sick notes written, de-caff coffee taken. No cheesecake, just porridge for the foreseeable future.
2 shows back on the Friday to-do list. Movies kicking off the new year with La La Land star Emma Stone. Lined up for every award going, La La Land really is as good as everyone is saying. Emma is on on screen pretty much the whole time and is quite exceptional. All singing, all dancing, all the awards, thank you very much.
Then we kick off the ARF with some fab grooves from our opening year of 1968. Look everyone its the Ford Escort! hey it’s the first performance of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat! Then let’s groove awhile at the first Isle of White festival! Far out man. At the movies it’s Oliver! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Planet of the Apes. And on your radio? Lay some tunes on us daddio (did anyone really talk like this?)
Over to you cats
