Warming Up For Summer

I'm now into the short period in between in early May where a few of us came back to do shows just before SO4S2 took place.
One of them being "Unsigned Unplugged and Unemployed" who did their last show for the year due to the awards taking place on the Thursday of the final week of broadcasting which was the day when the team were normally on air.

Their final show featured a performance by the one and only J-Swift accompanied by fellow presenter Oli on vocals and this time with some added percussion from someone who had brought some bongos in with them. They performed three songs which included a new arrangement of their most well known track "I Am Blessed" in a different key.
I'm certain I'm not the only one who would say they're one of the most distinctive sounding talents within the University and a very unlikely pairing which manages to work like you wouldn't expect.

Around this time I did a couple of special shows before the final one of the year, one of them being a show devoted entirely to the latest releases by Incognito and Swing Out Sister.
Even though it was just over a month ago I did that show, it feels like longer
but then again quite a lot happened that month as it normally does each year at University.
The only difference with next year is that I'll have a real reason to celebrate as the dissertation will be handed in.

From tomorrow I'll be making a start on listening back to SO4S2 which like all our
Summer broadcasts I thought was the highlight of the year for Smoke Radio.
It will be good to relive such moments as Tudor making his bow, Stewart Paske making one mistake too many on the Request Show and Goodlass and Marshall going out in style.
