(Week 148)
Since BBC Radio 2 has declared an interdict on pre-1940 dance music, this RADIOLA! endeavors to fill that abhorrent vacuum with three hours of great British bands.
Owing to the broadcast demands of the college hockey season (and the resulting preemption of RADIOLA! on WHCL), this program will be recorded and uploaded directly to my Live365 station as soon as possible.
I've also uploaded a classic RADIOLA! from February 20, 2006 ("A Foggy Day") featuring a British-themed playlist.
