Mickey leads the way.

I'm looking at the box office bombs, the failures, the flops today in the movie music show. Songs and themes from those films that didn't make the box office kerching. Tune in here at 4pm: southernsound.org.uk

Merry Christmas everyone!

The complete Rebecca Connolly series, in #paperback and #ebook.

Intrigue, action, drama, crime, murder, betrayal, loss all wrapped up in one epic series of books. The final instalment - A THIEF'S REVENGE - coming in 2026!

Sun and ice

'm heading for the hills on today's movie music show on Southern Sound. There will be tracks from the films shown below, as well as Shane, Where Eagles Dare, Cliffhanger, the Sound of Music and many more. Tun in here at 4pm (Saturday): www.southernsound.org.uk

The dial is merely the public face of the clock. The maker needs you to know only what he believes you must know, that is the time of day. But to understand how it all works you must look below the surface. There are tiny little wheels within wheels... Such is Jonas Flynt's life (1/2)

There be rumblings that today's movie music show takes us back to sea. And tracks will include themes from 2 versions of Mutiny on the Bounty, & Crimson Tide, The Hunt for Red October and - em - The Little Mermaid! And me steering the whole ship. Listen in here at 4pm: www.southernsound.org.uk
