Tom Ravenscroft's Swoon Tunes

Tom Ravenscroft sits in for Steve Lamacq and indulges his penchant for tunes that make listeners swoon. Escape from festive over-indulgence and embrace the calming musical rapture.

Tom indulges his penchant for tunes that make you swoon, in this Boxing Day Special.

Escape from festive over-indulgence and embrace the calming, musical rapture evoked by some of Tom's dreamy favourites.

From mellifluous melodies of old, to newer tunes, the playlist will include the likes of Irma Thomas, The Walker Brothers, Lambchop, Babeheaven, Kane Strang, Silver Apples, Bruce O'Yates, and Jerkcurb (AKA the London artist and musician Jacob Read, who kick-started Tom's swoon-tune obsession).

Let's swoon to the moon and back. Slow dancing is a must.
