Freaky Trigger and the Lollards of Pop – Series 2, Week 13
In a field of their own: Magnus, Katie and Ewings Tom and Al.
A song of two halves. The RAH Band’s terrific ‘Clouds Across The Moon’. Marvel’s stock aliens. Ellen Allien’s ‘Wish’. Tolkien’s footling theories on the essence of Fairy Story. Fleet Foxes sing. “Aslan” magazine and improv RPGs.
With a twist – GASP. The midweek number 1 is Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. OR IS IT?
