A Celebration of the Murmuration

Join Shaun for one last serving of ephemeral daftness and magnificent music. The decades-spanning playlist includes a few Liza favourites and a couple of listener picks.

Join Shaun for one last serving of ephemeral daftness and magnificent music. The Small Claims Court is in session, there are some heatwave-fuelled dreams, a few favourites from the sentient cartwall and, of course, a farewell poem.

The decades-spanning playlist includes a few Liza favourites and a couple of listener picks: from Big Joe Turner, to Aretha Franklin, The Clash, Madness, Sybil, Lily Allen and the Smashing Pumpkins, as well as something new from Johnny Marr and something beautiful from Fern Kinney.

Starlings disperse. Stay classy, stay daft, and we KYOBC.

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
