Thanks Andy! Tonight is a modern classical spesh with @elizabethalker.bsky.social lker

Andrew O. @andyorley.bsky.social · Aug 24

This week's pre @stuartmaconie.bsky.social #Freakzone listening is #JunFukamachi and his 1977 synth take on the fab four classic. Just daft enough whilst still maintaining a degree of respect, it's a perfect aperitif for the best radio show of the week. #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #NowPlaying

Not always the biggest Freak Zone fan (a high risk of jazz) but this was a superb episode, entertaining and enlightening in equal measure. @stuartmaconie.bsky.social and @elizabethalker.bsky.social both know their (glass) onions, and it shows. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
