Highlights from my Cabin FM afternoon show on Tuesday 22 April 2025 featuring On This Day In History, the Birthday File, movie and community news, poetry, a look at what is showing at the Kavanagh, and top tunes from the decades including 80s belters from Earth Wind & Fire, Shalamar and The Beat.

Spring’s Arrival

When April flowers imbibe the air with nodding scent

And light affords a subtle, welcome heat,

The mildness felt is ever kindly lent,

Successor to the winter’s vice-like snow and ice and sleet.

When April dwells and brings us renewed hope

That our cold lives will find that warmth we need,

We may emerge from chrysalis to catch this spark

And let the winter’s darkened heart recede.
