Saturday Afternoon - 12pm to 2pm

You just never know where the music is going to take you on Daphne’s 12-2pm Saturday Show, but you can be assured that it will be a feast for your ears packed with great music from the 40’s through to the present day. 

Each week she creates a show packed with music facts and songs by artists that have been involved in notable music events of the day – whether it’s an anniversary number one, debut record, album or concert, birthday or marriage – Daphne plays the music that tells the story.

Special features include: Spotlight in which she takes a look back at an artist’s or group’s achievements in music such as Gabrielle, Fine Young Cannibals, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Bob Marley, Carole King, Three Degrees, Pet Shop Boys, Buddy Holly and Natasha Bedingfield.

Borders’ Book Prize in which she reviews and reads extracts from the latest literary offering from Borders’ bookshop in the Hayes, Cardiff.

Spot the Link is a monthly phone-in competition. If you spot the link between 3 songs you can win yourself a prize (competition rules apply). Book prizes up-for-grabs at the moment, courtesy of Borders: The Private Lives of Pippa Lee a novel by Rebbeca Miller which has been made into film starring Robin Wright Penn - Stolen: a letter to my captor  - the debut novel of Lucy Christopher. For those of you who are into history she has a really fascinating book by Gary Hicks called Fate’s Bookie, How the Lottery Shaped the World courtesy of Simon Groves who has illustrated it with some fab cartoons.

 To win – you have to phone in – so tune to Daphne’s 12-2pm Saturday Show and be ready to play Spot the Link. 

Other fun items include: Daphne’ Stories of the Week in which she looks at an interesting historical event or quirky, unusual news items.  My Music in which she shares with you music from her own personal collection and explains what the songs chosen mean to her and last but not least there’s Put Your Records On where she plays the music you want to hear with your requests and dedications. 

So don’t forget to contact Daphne with your request because she wants to hear from you!
