A MUSICAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Steve Morris *is* the Voice Of Wolverhampton, if not the whole Fairport Delta! On Monday January 25th the bus pass lands on the doormat of WCR FM's station manager - still forlornly looking for Teenage Kicks incidentally - and he'll be celebrating with a marathon offering of some of his favourite music from across the decades - including some never before heard on radio - interspersed with anecdotes and tall tales plus a repeat of the edition of Pete Whitehouse's Inside Tracks in which he talks about his life and times as they were in April 2007. It all makes for a unique, special and entertaining night on 101.8 WCR FM. Starts at 7pm and runs through to midnight on 101.8 FM or on the internet. Join the part ... www.wcrfm.com

Quote of the week from Shane MacGown as reporterd by CMU "They sell all those lotions to cure you of baldness... They don't work. There is only one way to cure baldness - you pour Guinness over your head, collect it in a bucket, and drink it in the morning. It's proven to work". You want to receive the CMU Daily?
