The A to Z of Pop – Live
Weekdays (not Tuesday) 11 – 22 December 1pm
Richard presents live editions of The A to Z of Pop each show based around a letter of the alphabet. The twist is that he won’t know which letter it will be until his special guest reveals that letter at the start of each show. What could possibly go wrong! There’ll be a Mystery Voice feature and a Christmas song for each letter too.

Mouse is puzzled when she sees Jingles; a Christmas elf dressed walking around the park one September evening. Overcome with curiosity, the nosy rodent follows him into a circus tent. He seems engrossed with a beautiful pot. When Mouse tries to discover what he is up to, she causes the Elf to drop the pot. When she sees how upset he is and how important the pot is to him, she embarks on the challenge to get it back.

You may have thought it was just the Americans that did rock’n’roll. Most of the time you’d probably be right, but British acts did have a go too, and Gary Jackson has put together a 6 part series with the very best (and worst).
There’ll be artists you’ve probably never heard of, but prepare to be surprised too.
