Loads of local bands tonight

Well I must say that I really enjoyed putting tonight's show together. There's a lot of local talent out there and being able to play some of the music from local bands is a real privilege.

I'm often asked how hard is it put a two hour show together.In all honesty it's not that difficult. The planning is ongoing and if a song pops in to my head during the week that I think my listeners on The Flash will enjoy then I make a note and try and include it. There's always the listener requests to and I try and do a bulk of those every couple of weeks or so.

Here's the playlist from tonight's show:


Livin' on a prayer - Bon Jovi
You shook me all night long - AC/DC
Walk this way - Areosmith

Gotta love a bit of Flash

Well, I don't know about you but I really enjoyed that show tonight. Another great mix of tracks from the 60's right up to 1990.
