Welcome to a Special Weekend!
Happy Friday everyone. At 7PM in Ireland and the UK today, or 2PM Eastern, I look forward to saying Welcome to the Weekend to you all. It was at that exact time, on this day, the same date, August 24th, that I said the same thing in 2012, and Welcome to the Weekend was born on Team Fm. The show has gone through many changes since then, but the one thing that remains the same, is that its 2 hours of feel good music and friendly banter. The perfect way to close the busy week, and get ready for the Weekend ahead.
On the station where great music matters, I’ll be playing some of those great tracks that remind me of WTTW, and your welcome to suggest any that remind you of the show with the feel good factor too.
Features on the show today include:
• Kick-Start-Track. It’s the track that sets the pace for the Weekend ahead. Beginning with a number 3 hit in the UK, from 1998, it will set the tone for the show too.
• 1 at the Weekend. We’ll hear 3 well-known number 1 singles from 3 different decades, that were at the top on this Weekend in 2013, 2008 and 1985.
• Singled out. In the days when music wasn’t available on demand, Was There a single you really wanted, and the only way you could get it was to save your pennies to buy it? Today We’ll hear a belter from 1981.
• A trip to the Movies. When the show began, something I love to do, was to take you off to the movies. For many of us, it was and is still part of what we do at the Weekend. Today we’ll hear some of those great movie tracks from the 70’s and 80’s, and I’ll tell you about the movies they came from too.
• Brian D’s Hot Pick of the Week. A new release that grabbed my ears over the last 7 days. What will it be? You’ll have to tune in to see.
• The Team Fm Top Tune. We’ll hear a top notch new release, that’s simply the best, for the very first time on Team Fm.
There are many ways to hear the show, including:
