Andrew Morrison - April 2025
Andy's 60 minutes for April features new music from Honesty, Kilimanjaro, Sir Robert Orange Peel, Blue Foundation, Andy Bell, Brian Bilston & The Catenary Wires, Lust For Youth & Croatian Amor and Leatherette. Andy plays a track from the excellent new album by Bdrmm, plus an Andy's Old Chestnut that he's fairly sure must have inspired it. You'll also hear new music from past session guests The Pony Collaboration and The Divided Circle.

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.

This month, yes it's another 4 hours of fun.
We've got songs about Wizards not needing computers, Strawberries, Rainbows, the dreaded Bobby Gillespie, men with two left hands, getting lost, going to Germany and so much more.
There's really not much to tell you except that you won't have so much musical fun until another episode of Bottom of the Pops rolls around again next month.

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?
