Join me Jabsco Sounds this Saturday 4th Sptember for part 2 in my Hip-Hop Electro specials, where I'll be shining the spotlight on Tom Silverman, the man behind the goundbreaking New York label Tommy Boy Records.

 Trevor’s back next week so this Friday is the last of the Stepping Out stand in’s and what a stand in it is. 

This Friday between 4 & 6pm we’ll be staying in the 60’s having a listen to the kiwi bands (and others) who were in the NZ charts during the 60's, the pop music of the decade, TV shows that dominated the swinging 60's (yes, I did pinch this idea from Simon & El) AND the Eurovision song contest winners of the 60‘s.

Yep, if you’ve ever/never wondered who won the Euro contest in 1964, 7, 2...... then tune in to Stepping Out between 4 and 6pm this Friday, and hear them in their original glory. Vinyl scratches and all!

  This week is the second to last of our 40 Nights In The Wilderbeest and all i can say is get ready for darth merchandise and an unusual way of wining the wild west!

3 weeks down and 3 to go in the marathon Pun fest. Survivors of Marathon Pun Fests (now shortlisted as a new event for the Olympic Games) know that training is key. All those years of listening to such shows as Frankie Howard, Frost Reports, The Two Ronnies, Morcambe & Wise, Clue, I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again... pay off. Festival survivors tell tales of suddenly laughing midway through a story, or even when just thinking of an amusing anecdote. This Punature Ejaculation happens to all festival goers at some point. Don't be alarmed, it can be cured! A drip feed of puns is a sure cure, as well as keeping you from Pun Withdrawal this far into the festival.

So, in case of emergency keep these in your wallet or purse at all times till the end of the festival. They might just keep you sane.

1. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

2. A three legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: “I’m looking for the man who shot my paw.”

3. A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said ‘No change yet’.

A full pun top up can be had on the Sunday Night Comedy Show 9pm
