BBC radio 5's "Virtual Jukebox"

Post by brokenhill »

UK insomniacs will probably have stumbled upon BBC radio 5's "Up All Night" programme. Every Saturday a track gets added to the "Virtual Jukebox" by listeners nominating and voting. I know "Suzanne" has been nominated before now and failed to be voted in, but last night "Tower Of Song" was voted in as the best nominated track. I only caught the end so no idea what tracks were beaten.

Mary, just random, chronological, order I suspect. Hence Etta James rubs shoulders with Funkadelic :D

Here I was so excited because 'Suzanne' was so high up on the list. At least it's there on this eclectic playlist. Thank you brokenhill.
