Cool down the pace

Join us this week from 8pm as we deliver a special hour of classic reggae music for you - a mix of some of Jamaica's finest tunes taken from the 60s and 70s, when reggae ruled the roost and a bunch of legendary producers were pioneering mixing techniques that have had a huge influence on the music of the last few decades.

What's the frequency, Norman?

No trails, no jingles, no ads and no news ... not even travel updates. It's a pretty poor state of affairs. Not even a frequency to tune in to. Barely a radio show at all, you might think, but that isn't going to stop us. Join us tonight for what promises to be a fantastic show - trust us when we say you don't need extras when you've got music this good.

From the 1920s to the present day, we've really dug deep to bring you this week's aural pleasures...

Expect the unexpected

The movements of Mr Dan and his crew are shrouded in secrecy this week, but we are hopeful that the popular DJ will be onboard the 8pm express to hitsville UK as normal. After last week's problems we request your patience and understanding.
