Didn't hear it myself, but I've been told that as a tribute to Bobby Womack, Smooth played Womack and Womack's "Baby I'm scared of you" last night!

Kate Garraway just started with a "non stop 10 in a row". Do they always do that at 10am?
I know Magic used to do it each hour through the day. |

May as well cut her pay and let her start at 11am. What's the point of having a presenter and playing 10 songs in a row. (

Possibly Kate does what everyone thought Steve Wright was seen doing back during his Radio 1 days shopping in Oxford Street whilst on the Radio.

why stop at just 10? maybe they should try something original like the uninterrupted presenter free 24 hour show.

I dont know if it is a glitch on the website but it shows Dave Brown back on Smooth this weekend Saturday and Sunday morning instead on Nigel Williams on overnights.

I like Dave and Nigel and hear them all the time as I'm a taxi driver and work nights . someone said on here that Nigel sounded bored and was just there for the money, but when I've heard him, his links are sometimes longer than a normal smooth one, and are full of energy and enthusiasm. I heard David Andrews do a link, and it must have lasted 10 seconds at about 00:20 the other week, his first link into the hour!!!

I don't recall ever hearing David Andrews do a link more than about 30 secs on Smooth or Gold for that matter but then this is no personality please on air Global after all.

Yes he gets to the point and doesn't waffle on to kill time
Indeed, there's a big difference between word quantity and personality. |

I genuinely hadn't listened for at least a couple months, but due to Radio 2 on FM in the car sounding like the reception I used to get from Radio Luxembourg in the 70s, I tuned (mercifully briefly) into Garraway's show last week.
It was if nothing had changed since I the last time I listened for less than five minutes. In fact, it could have been the exact same programme held on pause for me to return to in another time frame. Same soporific, vacuous link to song, followed by song you've heard played so many times, if it were a piece of round plastic in your hand, you'd snap it in two. Strangely enough, I can't remember what that song was now, but I do remember it was something by ABBA - possibly SOS, One of Us, or The Winner Takes it All, or was it Everytime You Go Away by Paul (not so) Young? Anyway, whatever it was, it was time to bid a swift farewell to Smooth once again and return to fiddling with my handsfree, in-car tuning knob, as I couldn't stand any more mind torture for one day and my medication was starting to wear off. |

Smooth probably sounds best if you listen whilst under anaesthetic.

Other than gold when it's not on auto pilot and two presenters on LBC I've forsaken Brand Global so here's at least one person who won't be listening to your messages Mr Advertiser |
