🎬 **MOVIE MINUTE WITH DARREN!** 🎬

This week Darren is reviewing *Holy Days* – a feel-good comedy drama featuring Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes and Jacki Weaver. 👩‍🦳⛪

Three elderly nuns, a young boy and a road trip across New Zealand… all in a bid to save their beloved convent from closure! 🚗💨

Based on Joy Cowley’s novel, *Holy Days* mixes comedy, adventure and plenty of heart. ❤️

But what did Darren make of it? 🤔

🔥🎧 **RECORD OF THE WEEK on Radio Xtra!** 🎧🔥

This week, we’re putting the spotlight on rising UK star **Mulaa Joans** and her brand-new single **‘That Ain’t You’** 💥

At just 19, Mulaa is already making BIG waves, with more than **60 million streams** and a reputation for delivering raw, honest and seriously powerful songwriting.

‘That Ain’t You’ is an empowering anthem about knowing your worth and refusing to settle — with Mulaa turning modern dating fatigue into a sharp, soulful reality check. ❤️‍🔥

And there’s even more! The surprise new EP brings together *That Ain’t You* with fan favourites including **‘Normal People’, ‘Parallel Lines’, ‘Love Letter’, ‘Phone Sex’** and **‘Birthday Makeup’**.

She’s also heading to **Reading & Leeds Festival later this month**, before taking her biggest London headline show to date at Village Underground! 🚀

🎶 **Hear ‘That Ain’t You’ all week on Radio Xtra!**

🎶 **Radio Xtra Weekend Rewind** 🎶
**On This Day In Music History…**

📅 **15th August 1998**
🎤 Boyzone were sitting pretty at **No.1 in the UK** with **‘No Matter What’**!

🏆 It was their **fourth UK No.1**, making them the first Irish group to score four chart-toppers.

📈 And they made history again — becoming the **first act ever to reach the UK Top 5 with their first 12 singles!**

The song was taken from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical **‘Whistle Down The Wind’** — and became one of Boyzone’s biggest hits.

💿 A proper late-90s classic!
