Nearly time for this week’s show…let’s travel back to the Stone Age together…

On tonight's dino-mite edition of Simon Selects, in honour of the new Jurassic World film in cinemas, all the songs are of prehistoric nature, so expect dinosaurs and cavemen (yes, we know they didn't live together - but cartoons told us differently!) and anything to do primitive and stone age creatures. 🦖

There's some novelty songs, some pop and some prog rock but no space rock! 😄

Listen in from 7pm on 106.9FM, online at nliveradio.com, via smart speaker or download the NLive Radio app and have a roaring good time!
