Hold onto your hats folks, it's the birthday show! Today Jennturns28 and spends two hours telling you about it. It gets a little bit punky, very groovy and I spend plenty of time singing along loudly. We hear some X-ray Spex, ABBA and some Collision in anticipation of the Othersway Fest tonight. Happy birthday to me, to my brother in law Nik and to my Mum! #dancingqueen #mom #everythingsfine.
