Great Tracks and Side Tracks: Recent Episodes
Coast Access Radio
Peter Fleming brings you an entertaining 90 minutes of popular music, mostly gleaned from the 1970’s and 1980’s but not excluding music from any era. There is no other common theme and a gentle ballad may be followed by some heavyish metal followed by some virtuoso guitar work. Who knows?
Between the music tracks we follow side tracks courtesy of the International Express. This weekly overseas version of a popular UK tabloid always contains a remarkable number of odd and quirky articles that cause eyebrows to rise in astonishment. They give an often alarming insight into the wacky world of Political Correctness and, at the very least, make one grateful for living in this sane country of New Zealand. The only worry is that what happens in the UK today may well happen in NZ tomorrow. We are being warned!
