Technicolour Dreaming

I really must apologise for the appallingly long time between posts, as well as the gaps in shows appearing on the blog. Been having some “technical difficulties” lately with a new system being used at Three D for the logging of songs played on the show, and it’s compatibility with Blogger, so if the formatting is all a bit skewed, you’ll know why. The missing shows from the past few weeks will be appearing as soon as I can get them sorted out. So without further ado, here’s what was played…
