It's Feelgood Friday with Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show, the best way to start the weekend with brilliant music and hilarious chat. Album & Record of the Week included also.

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation.
This morning sees National Underwear Week come to an end, plus it is the final day of the summer sale at Morten Harket's Gap in the Market. Not forgetting, every Friday is a Feelgood Friday here. There are more inductees to the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
From Lester's Library there is the current single from Scottish supergroup, The Burns Unit, and a track from Johnny Guitar Watson. The Listener's Library track is a forgotten rock gem by The Quireboys. There is a final track from Album of the Week by Brian Kennedy and Record of the Week from Brandon Flowers of The Killers. Nobody else, nowhere else.
