This week’s Love Hour was probably our most professional show yet (by which I mean we managed to play quite a lot of actual music, be on-topic, and nobody forgot to turn their microphone on). Almost certainly the impact of having a guest producer sorting out our place list, Mr.
#soundclash with @RadioLeeJones was a blast as always. I also now have hiccups. Because, you know, my body still thinks I'm nine years old or something. Seriously, hiccups are quite undignified in a man of my age. https://t.co/TZ2w4A4ppM
