Was driving back from Southport this afternoon down to Sussex. Tuned through the stations and Londons Heart was playing Christmas Music and jingles London's Magic aired some Christmas songs too.
I doubt Radio 2 will play their jingles and music until the week before Christmas? |

Most local stations start Dec 1st. I think Radio 2 starts on Dec 8th? _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Lets hope so Mark, I would prefer Christmas music to be played only the last 2 weeks before Christmas.

Have a 'listen again' to last Wednesday's Radcliffe & Maconie show where they talk about and play tracks from the Phil Spector Christmas album A Christmas Gift To You. _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |

Me neither H. I've just had a look at last week's Ken Bruce playlists and saw he played Kate Bush's 'December Will Be Magic Again' last Wednesday (5/12) He's also playeded that comedy track about a Scottish Christmas, I forget the title & artist, I suspect it was the week before last, and, of course, as previously mentioned, Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie reviewed Phil Spector's Christmas album two weeks ago. I think Christmas came early to Radio 2 this year. _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |

Ken said on his show today they gradually bring them in as people moan about over playing Christmas Songs. ( Yes if we don't hear different ones ) Steve and Chris Played some. The Traffic jingle with the bells kicks in next week. |
