This week it's all about keeping it local with stories from where we live. Paula talks about the legendry Crystal Palace Bowl and Bob Marley & The Wailers performance. Angela heads across the Thames, back to Canning Town in East London where she grew up to tell us about the famous Bridge House music venue and the band The Cockney Rejects and how football hooligans and the right wing momentarily ruined their career.
New music this week is from Misled Convoy X Kate Five with 'Apply The Pressure' and 'Alright Lads' by Nervous Twitch.

Ahoy Matey! This week we tell you the story of Pirate Radio Station, Radio Caroline with special guest Charlie Ashcroft from Amazing Radio.
Radio Caroline which launched in the 60s in reaction to the monopoly of the BBC and the major labels. The station took residency on a boat in the sea just outside British territory and went on to be one of the biggest stations in the UK, much to the digust of the labels and the governments. We dig into the real story of the boat that rocked, including murder, theft, storms and spliffs.
Special thanks to our guest this week, Charlie Ashcroft: https://amazingradio.com/shows/audition/poll

This week’s theme is songs about masturbation including Cindy Laupers ‘She Bop’, Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks, I touch myself by Divinyls, B.O.B by Macy Gray and Billy Idol’s Dancing with myself. We discuss the back stories to these songs and the impact they had for the bands. From breast cancer awareness to Blue Boy and a few amusing slang terms, this show's packed with some unexpected facts.
We also have lots of new music too. Probably not about masturbation, but songs you really do need to hear, including bands We Three Kings, Dois Padres, Jean Genies Massive Hugs, Hot Wax and Wolfgang Von Vanderghast.

Kerrie and Grace venture further afield to explore stories from the world of music outside of Europe and North America. We explore the tragic but fascinating story of the thriving Cambodian Rock scene during the 60s and early-70s and how it was brutally silenced by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 before travelling to Africa to chat about the sociopolitical world and music of Fela Kuti and Afrobeat.
New music hot picks this week come from Animal Breakdown and Teenage Waitress.
