Simon Says Radio Show

13/08/2025

Due to previously unforeseen general business and events there’ll be no show this evening - let’s call it the summer break. Hope to be back next week all being well. Thanks for all contributions to features. Will be saving them up for next show.

No show this evening. Completely forgot to inform you both of this earlier!

Unusually, for this show, all tonight's birthday celebrants are still with us. One isn't to be confused with ex-Ipswich Town keeper Ron Fearon, one wrote the lyrics to My Way, one gets one of their hits covered in WHODUNNIT, and the other is obviously Kate Bush.
We have an enormous amount of excellent song suggestions to sum up the amusing local news story about a bus stop being freshly marked out when no bus even stops there now! That song has been chosen.
Mark McCoy of Diss gets his SIMON SAYS SHUFFLE track played in front of an international audience. The STRENUOUS LINK is a geographical one, and in WHERE ARE THEY NOW? we are after true and fake sightings of Harold Faltermeyer, the 80s keyboard warrior behind Axel Foley's theme tune from Beverly Hills Cop.
Join me live on rendleshamradio.com from 6pm as we come together and enjoy each other's company once again.

These people are all celebrating their birthdays today (well, except the one who sadly perished in a plane crash in 2012) The surviving celebrators are 88, 55 and 59 in no particular order. Can you name them from the pictures alone? We'll play a track from 1988 featuring one of them.
Also, on the award dodging show -
HOW VERY A'NEWS'ING - TV presenter goes into labour on air but carries on regardless and you've suggested some great tracks. We choose not one, but two!
SIMON SAYS SHUFFLE - features the algorithmic determination on Peter Edgecombe's music player.
WHODUNNIT? hosts a track written by a ageing Glastonbury headliner being covered by 70s disco legends.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? - We are looking for Athlete - have you seen them?
THE STRENUOUS LINK - The Beatles and The Kinks star this week. Two finer groups you'd struggle to get, but will you struggle to work out the link? You''ll need to hear the tracks for sure.
Live on www.rendleshamradio.com at 6pm until 7pm.
Listen while you're trying to cover 2 miles around Ipswich town centre at that time of night.

Do what this lady is doing and take the ‘radio’ into the garden. Tune into Rendlesham Radio and listen live to my latest show in 5 mins. All the extraordinary features with their ancient jingles. Mr Griff feature again ahead of Ipswich Music Day. Crowded House get a song covered in Whodunnit? We also look for Olive. She spent most of 1997 telling us we’re ‘not alone’ but who’s been looking out for her since then? Bye.
