Musical instalments from Lester's Library and the Listener's Library on the Best Time of the Day Show.

Start the weekend with a bang with The Dark Lord's Feelgood Friday. Alex plays a Rhythm & Blues gem from The Swallows in Lester's Library and Harry Beer picks The Assembly for the final Listener's Library of the week. It's the last play for our Record of the Week from Amy MacDonald and for Corinne Baily Rae and her Album of the Week, plus Milkman Paul is christened with a new nickname and we learn which books you never intended to read are.
