Highlights from my Cabin FM afternoon show on Tuesday 26 November 2024 featuring 80s belters from the start (ABC) and end (ZZ Top) of the alphabet, and a look at songs from the 50s through to the 80s that were no. 1 in the charts on this day in history, from Rosemary Clooney through to Berlin. We also find out about Drag Bingo, cars which have exceeded 200,000 miles on the clock, an anniversary poem from Susan Norvill, birthdays, community news, and a look at what is showing at the Kavanagh, including ‘Wicked’ and ‘The Critic’.

Anniversary Blues

‘Please don’t buy me roses

For they will surely die,

I’d rather have your presence

As time goes cruelly by.

Please don’t buy me trinkets

For the shine will always fade,

I’d rather have you near me

To turn another page.

Please don’t you forget me

And how we love this life,

For you’re my piece of trouble

And I’m you’re sweetest strife.’

Susan Norvill
