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. Including Album and Record of the Week.

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 there are more tales of frogs in foyer and bats in the bedroom in "There's a Goat in My House"; more celebrity duets suggested for "The Most Unlikely Album in the World...Ever"; and lots of joy and happiness all round as it is Feelgood Friday.
From Lester's Library there is a track from the new Santana album, and a new track also from Mary Coughlan. The Listener's Library track is from Gary Moore. There is one more track from Album of the Week by KT Tunstall and Record of the Week by James Blunt. Buffoons are go!
