Here's the playlist for tomorows Elevenses show. I think its a good idea to include local/local interest acts on the monday, when there's 2 hours to play with - on Fridays, where theres only an hour, it'll be more instantaneous music! I am as always open to suggestions, but bear in mind its the start of the weeknd, so the emphasis is on good mood music!
here's this fridays, fyi..
