I had some problems trying to listen to Americana GMT so I caught up with this edition of #PtoP on www.mixcloud.com/PTP2/from-pi... Apart from the Dolly tracks my SOTN was Suzy Boggus - you can always rely on @jackabouting.bsky.social for a good request.

Catching up with the #dlxp Europop Special. (Yes, I'm a bit behind.) Some excellent picks there, Mark! www.mixcloud.com/DiamondLight...

Diamond Lights Express Show 309: Europop Special by Diamond Lights Express
To close Eurovision month, Mark delves into the cheesy crypt and unearths 2 hours of non-Eurovision Europop obscurities from the 70s & 80s!

Lara Fabian is my favourite singer of the last 30 years - her voice and her performances are just amazing. This live recording is Perdere l'amore, which was an Italian number one for Massimo Ranieri in 1988. Thanks for playing it Mark! #dlxp

Giuni Russo was an Italian singer who was known for her range and experimental techniques. She sang the seagull sounds on her track Gabbiano. Alghero here is sort of tame in comparison. Thanks for playing it Mark! #dlxp

This is based on Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns who was, reportedly, "the most remarkable child prodigy in history, and that includes Mozart." It was written for, and performed at, the (re)opening of the Danse Macabre ride in a Dutch theme park. #mwxs Off to see them early next year...

Thank you to everyone who listened in to my 12" choices on tonight's Diamond Lights Express. A special thank you to Mark for allowing and facilitating me in inflicting my taste on you. After last week's Usual Suspects show, you'll be pleased to know I'm nowhere near next week's programming. #dlxp

The 12" mix of Belinda Carlisle's first single, Mad About You. I love the drumming on this, but I don't think anyone knew how to end the mix. Got to 67 in the UK charts #TeamBelinda #dlxp @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social

The absolutely wonderful Kirsty MacColl with A New England. This 12" version is nearly as long as Billy Bragg's "album", which first introduced us to the song, and it includes his verse for Kirsty #dlxp @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social
