The Cartridge Years: 1977, 1987 and 1991
Richard turns back the clock with the hits and local headlines from three Cartridge years: 1977, 1987 and 1991
This week Richard turns back the clock with the hits and local headlines from June 1977, 1987 and 1991. And he plays three tracks from Queen鈥檚 1975 album 鈥楢 Night At The Opera鈥�
Richard highlights some of the lighter stories of the week that you may have missed, reviews some of the recent surveys and looks ahead to the news for Monday.
It's the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
There is a choice of listening this Sunday afternoon. Richard is on FM, 1359AM, digital radio and online. And there is ball by ball cricket commentary as Hampshire face Essex in the county championship on AM and online.
