Today on your bFM Breakfast: A sun is streaming into the studio, an absolute pearler; Nat pops in to talk about what we've grouped as cultured creams; Suzanne dials in to gives us the lowdown on the Crip Dance/Dance and Dis-ability panel tonight; Troy's got some summery selections From The Crate; and Natural Ange is here with remedies for all your ailments.
We couldn't walk on by without marking the passing of Burt Bacharach and his enromous legacy of popular music, as interpreted by some of the greatest singers and musicians of 20th Century music. We spun a selection of soul and jazz takes on Bacharach bangers. Salute!
