It's impossible...
Tomorrow's show will give us all the chance to dream the impossible dream, as it's all about the artists making outrageous claims to fame that can't possible be true. Whether they are Swinging on a Star or Walking In The Air I'll be exposing the fantasists in the pop charts. Did Patsy Cline really fall to pieces? I doubt it. And what about the band who claimed they could see for miles and miles? I suspect strong drink had been taken. Let's keep our feet on the ground and suggest those flights of fantasy and the stars singing about the impossible...

When I first started listening to Get It On about 5 or 6 years ago I thought what a great idea. The listeners choose the music so it will be a great opportunity to hear new exciting stuff that I鈥檝e never heard before and be introduced to new bands that I鈥檝e never heard of. In fact, a wonderful opportunity to expand my musical horizons and not have to listen to the same old boring stuff that is constantly churned out on every radio station.
