Hospital Radio 2

Its nearly two months now since I last wrote about me becoming a volunteer at Hospital Radio. Every Tuesday since then I have been helping out for 1.5 hours at the local Hospital Radio. Each week I operate the controls (choosing the next song; lining it up to play then pressing the play button mainly). About 3 weeks in I asked whether it would be possible for me to have a slot in the show where I played the music and I talked. So every week now I have my own 30 minute take over where I play about 6 or 7 songs and talk in between them about the song I am about to play. Each week I choose a certain theme and play 30mins worth of songs which fall into my chosen theme of the night.

The first week my theme was "Songs With A Colour In The Title" and I played:
Mr. Blue Sky - ELO
Clear White Light - Lindisfarm
Charlie Brown - Coldplay
Little Green Apples - Frank Sinatra
Fools Gold - The Stone Roses
Yellow Submarine - The Beatles  

The second week my theme was "Weather" and I played:
She's Thunderstorms - Arctic Monkeys
Please Don't Stop The Rain - James Morrison
Snow (Hey Oh) - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks
Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons
Today The Sun's On Us - Sophie Ellis Bextor
Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

The third week my theme was "Songs Which Don't Have The Titles In The Lyrics" and I played:
Blue Monday - New Order
Shuffle  - Bombay Bicycle Club
Chocolate - Snow Patrol
Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
L.S.F - Mark Ronson feat. Kasabian
A Day In The Life - The Beatles

You'll probably have noticed that I end with a song by The Beatles each week and this week is no exception when my them will be "Songs Which Have Animals In The Title" and I will play:
Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
Superfast Jellyfish - Gorillaz
Elephant Stone - The Stone Roses
Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine
Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters
She Wolf - Shakira
Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
Octopus's Garden - The Beatles

I will keep you posted on how Hospital Radio is going next month.
