Looks like I may be back on air at 3pm on Friday.

All playlist suggestions welcome, especially if a 3 towns theme.

Dusty Millar's "Dasher" is already there.

What a coincidence - Ive already got the Clydesider’s version of that one lined up! The playlist is now about 2 hours long, and I’ve only got a 1 hour slot this week, so I’ll need to put some off til next time. But so far, the playlist includes:

Peat & Diesel
Clydesiders
Dusty
Carlos Nunez
King of Birds
Jessie Buckley
Francie & Josie
The McCalmans
... and, as they say, much much more

With Caledonia Roads in both Ardrossan and Saltcoats, and Caledonian Road in Stevenston - Dougie McLean's "CALEDONIA" might be worth a thought.

Mungo Jerry's "SUMMERTIME" also came to mind. Great memories of them in the Threetowns.
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Bruce, Andy Chung's Pennyfalls is a great song although about east coast amusement arcades it always takes me back to the fairs at Stevenston and Saltcoats when I was a wean.
Those wimin were in the nip.

It certainly is in Millport, Brian F; seems it was painted in 1913 so well before even these newsreels from the 20s and 30s.

Andy Chung - there's a good idea. Don't have anything suitable at home, but will copy something from the studio when I get a chance.
