Today on your bFM Breakfast: We're diving straight into some politics with Morgan Godfrey this morning; apparently Tess loves the oven, talking roasting on Tesscipes; we chat to Repulsive Woman, all the way from Manchester, about winning the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut; PolyHill joins us with a brand new track ahead of her new EP; and Amelia gives us a run down of the Top Ten. Nothing like a bit of ABBA to warm you up, eh?
