Technicolour Dreaming

“From the 60’s to Now!” is a premise of  Technicolour Dreaming  which was admirably fulfilled in this week’s edition, brought to you by our 3D Radio compadre Paul D. in our absence (check out his blog here)... from the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Kinks to the latest from the Laurels and Adelaide’s Tea, with stops along the way to visit the Soft Boys, the Hard-Ons and the Beep Seals, plus Captain Sensible’s lament for Thatcher’s Falklands War and the Teardrop Explodes’ second single, whilst not forgetting a classic from our latest “Artiste of the Month”, the brilliant Brian Eno... great stuff!
