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

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.

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.

It's the Women's Footy final tonight, so our theme tonight is English Female artists/bands or you can pick songs from the year 1994.

Make your suggestions 👇 and join Winger Spice and Hairy Spice from 7pm only on V2 Radio

19/07/2025

Today is international karaoke day. It's a day to celebrate karaoke and encourage people to sing, either at home, at work, at karaoke events or if you prefer in the shower. Singing offers a wide array of health benefits, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being. Singing can improve lung capacity and posture, boost the immune system, and even help with pain management, who knew it could be so good for you ? Maybe not so for the person listening.

So the lock-in tomorrow is based on songs you would step up for, maybe even sung professionally, and by professionally I mean after several alcohol based beverages at the local. Send us a vid of you doing it or post a snippet of you in your finest moment. Tune in from 7PM.

Have a great weekend, and remember no persons hearing was harmed in the making of the below cartoon.

Good afternoon gang - it's been a glorious weekend, so what better way to finish off the weekend than together and with some great music?

It's International Rock Day today, so I thought we'd go with "Rock" as a theme, so we want your favourite rock anthems - basically anything you can air guitar to!

Alternatively, I've picked 1997 as our featured year - so plenty to choose from.

Make your song suggestions 👇 and let us know what you've been doing over the weekend and we'll catch you from 7pm 😎

06/07/2025

Good afternoon! It's International Kissing Day today, so our theme is Kissing - if you want to post a picture below of you kissing someone special, then feel free!

And given the theme, we thought we'd do something we've never done before and make the alternative year 1967 (we don't normally do 60s) given that it was start of the Summer of Love that year and the music was 🔥

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

Good afternoon! After a week off, Steve and Big Nigel are back tonight from 7pm.

It's national camera day today, so our theme tonight is memories, good times and pictures.

Alternatively - you can request a song from the year 2001. We picked this because it's Big Nige's 24th wedding anniversary today too. Happy Anniversary Big Nige and LORRAINE!

I've picked two of my favourite pictures for you - one was taken on a dusk walk around the old Tangmere airfield service road near our house and the other is of my family in New York on Broadway, just before we went to see Back to the Future - I love this photo as we were all so excited and we'd had a perfect day exploring the big city.

We'd love for you to share your favourite pictures and memories with your requests too if you'd like. Make your suggestions 👇
