Festive tunes and Christmas chat

Mark plays a selection of festive and wintery tunes for Christmas Eve and hears from listeners about their Christmas preparations.

Mark Radcliffe presents solo, with a feast of festive music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today he decks the halls and rocks around the Christmas tree with a show of festive and wintery tracks perfect for Christmas Eve. And he hears from listeners about their Christmas preparations.

Also on the show… a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in β€˜Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

With a finely balanced blend of new and old music including tracks from The Staves, The Waitresses, Bob Dylan, Gossip and The Crystals.
