Preston Emu and Radio 2 in the Park
Scott spoke to Paul O’Gorman from Radio Lancashire about Preston Emu and Radio 2 in the Park.
The event was heading to Moor Park on 7 and 8 September, although the artist line-up and ticket information were still to be announced.
Paul promised that Scott would be able to try his pie when the station arrived in Preston.
The Birthday Game: Ros
Ros from Medway in Kent turned 59.
At weekends, she performed with seven other women as a troupe of dancing witches.
The group appeared at fairs and fetes, often for charity, and opened with a traditional witches’ dance called Hexenbrut.
Their routines included broomsticks, light-up lanterns and winged cloaks, although Ros confirmed that bringing cauldrons would be too much.
Her husband Tony had planned a surprise journey for Friday and refused to reveal even the train platform because it would expose the direction of travel.
Ros liked 1990s rave music and loud rock.
Her first spin was Blondie’s Call Me, number one in 1980.
Ros decided to stop immediately and “quit while she was ahead”.
Her unused alternatives were Chesney Hawkes’ The One and Only and Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy.
Ros believed Blondie remained the strongest choice and received the signed birthday card.
Angelina Mango
Angelina Mango joined Scott before representing Italy at Eurovision with La Noia.
Scott introduced her as one of Italy’s fastest-rising artists, already holding six platinum records and a large social-media following at only 23.
Angelina came from a musical family and had already built a major career in Italy before the contest.
She discussed the rhythm, colour and attitude of La Noia and the excitement of bringing it to the Eurovision stage.
Scott highlighted the song as one of the entries listeners had been most enthusiastic about during the build-up to Malmö.
The Music Police
Daniel from Belfast remembered a tune containing a repeated “boom boom, ah ah” phrase followed by a saxophone line.
He suspected it might have appeared in a milk advert.
Many Music Police officers had been away, leaving the case file unusually thin.
Scott issued an urgent appeal for witnesses and gave the force 24 hours to identify it.
Handover
Scott handed over after introducing Angelina Mango and warning the Music Police that time was running out.
