‘The last tracks they recorded’ was one of our more challenging themes of recent times. It also ended up being quite a sad and poignant programme as so many of the emails talked about how moving it was to hear the last recordings from artists like Freddie Mercury, Kirsty McColl and Warren Zevon.

Lyrically it was all very moving with Freddie telling us about the best days of his life, Luther singing about never dancing with his father again and it felt that every track on those last Johnny Cash recordings was loaded with a double meaning.

There will be no sad lyrics on Wednesday night’s programme. In fact there will be no lyrics at all as it’s a vocal-free zone. From Last Date to Albatross we are looking for the best instrumentals of all time. As well as bands like The Shadows and folk like Duane Eddy, did your favourite bands do the odd instrumental? As the theme was inspired by the anniversary of Eye Level reaching number one I’m also happy to include TV themes if any spring to mind.
