On this week's show John Leeming gets inpiration for his choice of music this week by lisetening to old Goon Show broadcasts. 

Week 234 - Royal Event

On this week's show Damon recaps some of the music associated with the Royal Wedding last Sunday. Plus some surprise tracks that are associated with wedding's in general - thrown in for good measure.

Week 233 - Porter-Brown at the Ritz

On this week’s show we have raided the archive and bring you another classic broadcast. This time it's the unique sound of Reginald Porter-Brown who was for many years resident at the ABC in Southampton, however on this occasion he's seated at the console of the fiery Ritz Richmond Wurlitzer. So with just 8 ranks of pipes, one organist and what sounds like three hands...take it away Reg!

Week 232 - The Organist Entertains

On this week's show Damon dedicates a full hour to The Organist Entertains, which as of Tuesday, is now off the air after 49 years in service. Damon looks back at some his personal highlights of the show's long and interesting history, with plenty of special BBC recording thrown in too for good measure.

Week 231 - The Continental

On this week's show Damon follows in John's footsteps with some more contrasts. The title of this week's show points to the last two tracks - The Continental and quite possibly the biggest divide in the theatre organ world...!
