Summer solstice special

Mark and Stuart celebrate the summer solstice with a feast of sun-filled, sunshine-themed tracks and chat.

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they celebrate the summer solstice with a selection of sun-filled, sunshine-themed tracks and chat.

Also on the show... The Chain - our world-famous list of over 8,700 interconnected songs - and Crisps on the Radio.

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

With a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 6 Music.
