Tuesday’s show was a very special one – on so many levels.

4 exclusives.
1 from Redemption ZERO.
1 from Scarlet Joy
A vinyl & CD giveaway.
And, of course, an in-depth interview with Jeff Bernstein!

A HUGE thanks to Jeff for being so generous with his time. With a career spanning almost 50 years, there was so much to cover - and we did our best to touch on it all.

From clutching his Goldfinger album, to the pre-White China years (with Stuart Adamson of Big Country looking on), through to signing a 6-album deal with Island Records and the international touring that followed - alongside numerous TV performances - all at the back of recording in Martin Rushent’s legendary studio, and how a chance meeting with Ian Donaldson (H2O) ultimately led to an absolute beautiful collaboration on Jeff’s latest album Tides.

Post White China, we talked about Elektrik Cirkus, performing with Mike Peters from The Alarm with an Elektrik Circus track never before broadcast, and so much more....

🎵 You can buy Jeff’s new album Tides here:

Pressed locally at Seabass Vinyl - it looks every bit as good as it sounds.

It's incredibly exciting that I've secured these exclusive tracks from Scarlet Joy and Redemption ZERO which I'll be showcasing on tonight's show.

My ask of you, is that if you enjoy them, go and see them when they play live. Buy their respective EP and LP when they land.

Shirley Manson from Garbage sums up why (warning: couple of f-bombs in there - but there's a really important message in there).

Some swag to give away too.
