The Music Machine! Happy Birthday Sweet 16? Not Quite.

Hi everyone

I hope you can join me as usual on Saturday right here on Team-FM for the Music Machine! It all happens at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern!

This Saturday, exactly 9 years ago to the day, the Music Machine was born. The first show was broadcast at 1 in the morning UK time believe it or not. We'll remember some of the songs which have often been played on the show. Are there any songs which you've been introduced to through the Music Machine that perhaps you haven't heard before? Do let me know.

I also have the usual features for you.

Compilation albums of the past. Now Music keep telling us how many days there are left until the release of Now 100. So in line with that, we'll remember Now That's What I Call Music 5!

Golden Years, taking you back to two years through movie clips, TV, and of course, the music. This time it's 1982 and 1974. This week in 1982, three songs were in the chart relating to football events. Will I play any of them?

In the Vinyl Countdown, playing a song from my record collection, we'll be Dancing in the Street.

And as well as Collectors Corner, we mustn't forget the all new Music Game! Last week the leader board was almost transformed, demonstrating that there is all to play for week by week. See if you can get some points up there and play along!

It's going to be a busy show as you can see, and you can tune in through our website at www.team-fm.com/click, or through our apps for Android or I O S devices, in many radio directories or any other way you fancy.

I'll bring the birthday cake and a box of records. If you could bring yourselves and perhaps a bottle or three, that would be awesome! See you then!
