Of all the excuses for being late for work, "there's a bat in mi kitchen" must be one of the most creative!?

Great version of Life In A Northern Town, really enjoyed it. Have a listen.

LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN Thanks so much everybody - when "one" makes a single theses days "one" doesn't expect, in modern circumstances, to make competetive headway against the current streaming acts and big companies. youtube.com/watch?v=r9-qMJer… we've had 6K views on this ON DAY ONE! And so many beautiful comments. The magic could be spread if everyone gave us a repost and got their pals to vote and- importantly, download the track from any of the usual platforms. 🙏 @haywardmusic @Republic_Media @UMG @SonyMusicPubUK @BBCRadio2 @BoomRadioUK @greatesthitsuk 🙂

When I was presenting the afternoon show on Signal One in the 90s, Steve Wright visited the station as we took a syndicated weekend show he was doing at the time. He took the time to record some custom links for me, as I followed him at the weekend. Top man. Loved the show, Steve

Strong gusts whipped through Stalybridge, in Tameside overnight, damaging around 100 properties. No injuries were reported but many residents were forced to leave their homes. Our journalist Andy Hoyle reports from Stalybridge

I loved my ZX81. Spent ages typing in the game Sink The Bismarck from the book Peek Poke Byte and Ram.
For many of us this was the first taste of home computing. #Retro #nostalgia #British #flashback
