April 24 2013 'Richie Havens passes, Public Enemy enter the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Rolf Harris gets nicked'

This show finds me in contemplative mood, as I muse on the passing of Richie Havens, the Divinyl's Chrissy Amphlett and the arrest of Rolf Harris as part of operation Yew Tree. I also discuss rapper DMX's trials and tribulations and TMZ's reports on the Boston Bombing suspects. Congratulations go out to Public Enemy for their induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and will listen to Annie and Dave tell us about the rain - even though it's sunny (of course it rained later in London)!

Mar 27 2013 -The 'Tale of Two Millibands' episode feat Abu Qatadar

A Tale of Two Millibands

image source - guardian.co.uk

In this week's show I talk about the uncommonly cold weather (it's Britain I HAVE to talk about the weather!) The leader of the UK opposition's older brother quitting politics, Abu Qatadar escaping extradition, Dionne Warwick owing the taxman and more. I also play the latest exclusive from incomparable mashup-meister Phil Retrospector, and quite by coincidence awesome music from Chloe Charles - Julian Lennon's step sister.

April 10 2013 - The Thatcher death episode - 'We are grandmother'

Yinka and the ID April 10 2013 - We are a grandmother

The first woman Prime Minister of Britain (1979-1990)Thatcher dies at the Ritz Hotel in London 8 April. Tributes flooded in from world leaders. Parties were thrown in Brixton, Glasgow and elsewhere
By the time of my show a £10 million taxpayer funded state funeral is announced - the President of Argentina is not invited. Parliament is recalled and a 7 hour session on speeches - not all tributes ensues.


I approach the issues with my usual deference and  sensitivity.
