Bryan Burnett v's Billy Bragg...

Bryan Burnett | 10:25 UK time, Friday, 11 February 2011

Last night's show was a reminder of how much music really means to people and how much the words of a song can affect someone's life. We heard some moving and touching tales throughout the show and we also had some moments that made me smile. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories last night. By way of a contrast tonight's show is just a bit of fun. It was suggested by Al Istener and I think it's perfect for a Friday night. All you have to do is think of two artists with the same initials and we'll pick which one to play. Andy Stewart or Alvin Stardust? Lena Zavaroni or Led Zep? The gamble is that you dont know which one we are going to go for. You might want Pink Floyd but end up with Peter Frampton! Worse still, it could be Jethro Tull or Justin Timberlake! Now there's a decision I'd like to make...
