Every now and again the BBC really rocks.
Yesterday morning while I was working I happened to have BBC Radio 2 playing in the background instead of my usual Radio Paradise. Note, I said” in the back ground”. That was until my ears perked up.
Ken Bruce was playing Argent’s “Hold Your Head Up”. But not just the usual version. Oh no, Ken was playing the album version, complete with extended instrumental break in the middle.
Needless to say I wound the volume up to 11.
So imagine my surprise as I am driving home this morning, having just dropped my wife off at work. Chris Evans was bemoaning the fact that he had suffered a huge dose of show envy.
What was that envy ?
Well, of course, it was the fact that Ken Bruce had played the album version of Hold Your Head Up. So to get over this Mr. Evans decided to play the same track.
So there I was, stuck in my car, parked on my drive, with the volume on my radio turned way up.
Two days on the trot good ol’ Aunty Beeb had hit the gold spot.
What do you think the chances are that they can make it a “hat trick” ?
