Blimey, this section hasn't been posted on since 2015, when I still had a dad!
Whilst looking through my bookmarks I came upon this, from when I would have had Radio 2 on for much of the day and into the night. I remember that week well and wishing I was in the north-east of the UK to enjoy it 'in the flesh' so to speak, but no, I am several hundred miles away and so had to make do with hearing it on the radio, though I do remember winning a few CDs in a competition in one of the shows: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2003/09_september/03/radio2_newcastle.pdf

The nearest I could get to being there was those shows that were webcast. I, of course was wishing they would one day / year do something like it in my local shopping centre but it never happened. Maybe Aldershot's too small a place, but one can dream, and I did!!

Towards the bottom of the first link there is a list of presenters that have now all gone apart from Jools Holland & Ken Bruce.

Noticed the name of Graham Bickley, LEE, on the Friday Night Is Music Night section.

I remember him as the second Joey in Bread. Smile

Here he is singing Music of the Night.

Thanks Becky. I'll give that a listen.
