PARTNERSHIPS is a word I have heard a lot on our shows in the last week or two, to the extent that I realised it has somewhat slipped out of vogue. This week on part 1 of the 85-86 version of What We Call History, Mike Nevin spoke as eloquently as ever on the strength...
The Rider is recording early because Adam Melia is going on holiday. This means there is no Stephanie Heneghan but there is the book game where Neil Atkinson and John Gibbons try to guess what books Adam will want to take with him. There is also ten great songs which...
