Gareth Jones - April 2025 Gareth's eggshellent April show is more packed than the Easter Bunny's basket. Kicking off with two unusual cover versions of songs originally by Chappell Roan, there's also quirky country from The Burning Hell, silly Spanish pop from Papa Topo and some strange sci-fi instrumentals from Synthetic Villains. Plus this month's 'Secret Songs from the Sixties' features two cuts by the cult 60's girl band The Clinger Sisters. Then the 2nd hour's guest presenter for 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' is Kate from feminist punk-pop band Twat Union who release their debut EP 'Don't Look It In The Eye' via Alcopop! Records on April 4th. | ||||

Sean Hocking's Bus Special - April 2025 In the past few months my inbox has received a few punks tunes about bus rides. The Cumquats from Sydney singing about the wonderful big yellow double decker bus (Sydney's only double decker) that plys the city to north shore and also a tune from US band Wesley & The Boys. It set me to thinking, it's about time I foisted another one hour themed tune your way, dear listeners. We've got love on buses, death on buses, possible death by bus, greyhound buses, New York buses, National Express buses, Bus Drivers, drugs on buses and of course waiting for buses. Sorry I couldn't find a song about running for buses although I'm sure there's one out there. Enjoy. As I muse in the show I think I could be onto something here, emergency vehicles next? | ||||

The Jam Etcetera - April 2025 From 1977 to 1982 in British popular music culture there were very few groups that came close to The Jam. There were of course other groups around at the time that also had an ‘edge’ to them, but very few if any had the success that The Jam experienced. With 18 consecutive top 40 singles and 4 number one hits in the UK, it’s difficult to think of many other ‘alternative’ or counter-mainstream-cultural groups of the time that had such mass appeal. For those who were attracted by music and lyrics that in some form or other challenged the status quo, The Jam were seen, by some, to not only challenge the hum-drum and drabness of that period, but were somehow, counter-intuitively doing it quasi from the inside… That is, since they were not all-out Punks, and since they wore suits, and since they occasionally played spiked-up Soul covers, and were quite often melodic, they limbo-danced under the radars and into the bedrooms and living rooms of otherwise unsuspecting adolescents with otherwise quite middle-of-the-road musical tastes. Lyrically they had one of the best song-writers of the time. Politics, poetry and social conscious married-up to create anti-war, anti-racist, and anti the right-wing government (from 1979…); frequently, as much as anything else, with lyrics that depicted a rundown Britain whose over-arching mood was one of despondency and hopelessness. Paul Weller as primary song-writer neatly slotted into the British lyrical family tree which also consisted of the likes of Ray Davies of The Kinks, Peter Townsend of The Who, with elements of The Small Faces and indeed Nick Drake ... All – when they were at their best – combined with Punk fervour and a subversive do-anything attitude. This programme is dedicated to the memory of Rick Buckler, the drummer of The Jam who died recently, who along with Bruce Foxton and Paul Weller embodied a certain attitude and outlook from a certain period of time in British musical history. This is The Jam Etcetera ... | ||||
