The Lock-in is under new management for the next couple of weeks as the usual landlord is away catching some sun, oh and sampling the finest vegetarian food the Canary Islands has to offer.

Join Gary Booker, the new temporary landlord and Nigel S***t his glamorous bar steward for 3 hours of fun and music.

Theme for tonight is songs you’ll put on a jukebox if you went to a new pub. Not going with a year so its a bit of a free for all, breaking the new landlord in gently. Put your selections on the Facebook thread and give us a like if you haven’t already done so and we’ll see you from 7

Good afternoon - hope you've had a good weekend so far and that you enjoyed your extra hour in bed this morning!

In honour of the extra hour today - thought we'd have a theme of time/clocks or the year 1985.

Make your suggestions 👇 and we'll catch you from 7pm!

Good afternoon! What a miserable Sunday we've had so far - but I hope you've had nice weekend, despite the weather!

Big Nigel had a terrific idea this weeks theme - this month is "The Big Draw" which is an international event to celebrate the act of drawing. So let's do something a bit different this week - send us a request (any - your choice), but draw it and we have to guess what your request is 😂😂😂. Can you guess the songs that Steve and Big Nige have drawn?

Alternatively - if you don't fancy that, then you can pick something from the year 2000.

Let's have some fun with this and we'll catch you from 7pm tonight. Let's go! 👇

Good afternoon! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

We need to wish Big Nigel a big "Get Well Soon!" as he's not feeling too great today. So poorly in fact that he's got a Kebab from last night *that he didn't eat* to reheat in the microwave (inc. salad) to make him feel better later though.

So that means that I have an unexpected Bar steward tonight. I'll let you guess who from the picture... 😂

In honour of this - I thought we'd have a theme of "Dynamic Duos" tonight OR the year 1991.

Make your suggestions 👇 and we'll catch you from 7pm!

Good afternoon - hope you've had a great weekend so far. Today is "Get Funky Day", so our theme tonight is Funk. Alternatively - I've picked what is appearently the "Funkiest" year as an alternative: 1977

Good afternoon! Hope you're having a nice weekend. After an unexpected week off, we're back tonight from 7pm on V2 Radio

I thought we'd have a subjective theme this week - so we want to know what track immediately comes to mind when you think "Beautiful Song"?

Alternatively - you can pick a track from the year 1982.

Good morning! Getting this up early today as we're at the Goodwood Revival today, so if you're there, come and see us at the V2 Radio Bus at the "Over the Road" section.

The theme tonight is "Magic" and anything related to it e.g. illusion, tricks, etc.
Alternatively - you can pick something from the year 1975.

Hope you have a great day, make your song suggestions 👇 and we'll catch you at 7pm on V2 Radio

Good Morning! It's Star Trek day tomorrow as the 8th September 1966 was when the first episode aired. So our theme tonight is "Space"

Alternatively - I thought we'd have a dual-theme tonight instead of a Year, so I want to know a song that can immediately transport you to a time and place the moment you hear it.

For me, one such song would be "Ultra Naté - Free":
The year is 1997 and I'm 19 years old, driving home from visiting friends in Norforlk in my first car - a Red Vauxhall Nova - it's late and I'm on the M25 with the radio on and I hear this song for the first time and it immediately resonates with me, despite some not-so-great things going on in my life at the time - I do feel "free" to do what I want to do. So, whenever I hear that song - that's immediately what I remember.

How about you? What's your song and story?

Let us know 👇 and catch us from 7pm tonight (and of course - Live long, and prosper!)

On this day, 28 years ago in New York City musician and composer, Patrick Grant founded International Strange Music Day.

What may you ask is that ? Well Patrick believed that if society could broaden their musical spectrum, it could in return change the way people look at other aspects of life.

So tonight’s show is based on music genres you wouldn’t normally listen to, be creative, be different and maybe you’ll surprise yourself with something new.

To coincide with the anniversary you can also choose something from the year 1997.

Join Steve and Big Nige in the Downlands from 7 for 3 hours of musically stranger things.

Good afternoon! It's National Friendship Day today, so to celebrate that - our theme tonight is friendship. I've made lots of friends over the years that I've been presenting the Lock-In and worked in Radio and I'm grateful for every one.
Alternatively you can pick something from our featured year tonight, which is 1986.
