Another great show. Thanks guys. I could not but notice the wide range in musical style between Jono’s song in the middle, and Mick Burrows songs at the end. Actually, next time you play metal music, could you warn people first before blaring it in our headphones
As for the Civic Centre, after that very interesting piece on it, I had to go find pictures of that building since I have never visited Wolverhampton. They really do seem to be proud of the plastics plants in it:
