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 -

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.

Mr Griff feature again ahead of Ipswich Music Day. Crowded House get a song covered in Whodunnit? We also look for Olive.

In 45 mins time we’ll be back, live on www.rendleshamradio.com after a fortnight’s hiatus (blame the WI and Framlingham post office reunion for that if you’re unhappy about it)

Tune in to get excited about it - just over a month away! See you at 6pm.
