A wide selection of Seventies songs, including one that says at the end: “please turn me over”. Rita Coolidge covers a 1960s song. Another one had the original title: “Guess who’s making whoopie with your girlfriend?”. There’s also the story of a woman who took in Outlaws, fed them and sent them on their way. For Beach Boys fans there’s a 1970 song from their “Sunflower” album released as a single but didn’t chart..alas!

From 9 o’clock until 10, it’s this week’s Chart in 1979. We hopefully will hear the Top 15 of that week during the hour.

Darren Duckworth is on Breakfast this week, 8-11, followed by Tony Barker and guests, 11-1.

Tony will be joined by three students from Woldgate College, Pocklington, who are in the final throes of fund-raising to go on a trip to Morocco this Easter. Also, he’ll be talking to the winner of the East Yorkshire pub of the year. In the Saturday Theatre slot after 12, Reform Theatre talk about “My Favourite Summer”, which they are bringing to the Pocklington Arts Centre a week on Tuesday, and we mark the end of an era as the old film projection equipment is switched off at the venue.

Clues too easy last week, so here are harder ones……have a go…. There’s a South African substitute, an airlines poster theme, along with three “extras”, next to an offer with Jim. David wants to alter things and there are three ‘ones’ from 1973. Linda shoops a song from Betty, plus a January 1978 song from Abba that dares you?

Between 9 and 10 o’clock it’s this week’s Chart in 1975 that includes: Elvis P., Donnie and Marie, Mac and Katie, John Holt, Helen Reddy and maybe a touch of Footsie? (Dave and Keith frequently solve the clues, anyone else to challenge the “duo”?)

The curtains open on Vixen 101′s Saturday Theatre at around midday when Tony Barker broadcasts live from Stamford Bridge. It’s the final day for the village’s pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, and we’ll hear from some of those taking part. Also on the show, Thomas Feeney, the new PR and Media Manager at York Theatre Royal, will talk about life after the pantomime at St Leonard’s Place as the production closes tonight. Caroline Horton opens the new ArtERY season at Beverley’s Longcroft School this week with her one-woman show – we hope to catch up with her on tour.
Also, we hope to speak to craftspeople from the area whose work will form an exhibition at Pocklington in the Spring.
