Pennie Black flips through her record collection to bring you a Monday afternoon programme where it's the music that counts, playing the songs that soundtrack our alternative pasts and our unconventional present. Discerning listeners will hear hits from the classic era of 95bFM all the way to the now sounds of tomorrow, where the jingle-jangle of 80s alt-pop meets the modern noir sounds of effects-pedal dreamers; and the raw excitement of the 60s garage sits beside shimmering synth-pop from near and far.
Lucia Taylor takes on the honour of covering for Pennie Black's Monday one to four. Playing goth tunes as an homage and plenty of covers, topped up with some french pop and contemporary folk, I hope you enjoy your substitute music teacher!
