@laurenlaverne @BBC6Music It's got to be I'm Afraid of Americans, right?

@BBC6Music Hey @BBC6Music: I moved to Atlanta from Brighton a year ago but still listen to @laurenlaverne every morning on BBC Sounds. It's my birthday on Tuesday & I'm feeling far from UK friends & family in this crazy year. Could you play Martha & the Vandellas Dancing in the Streets?

Let's get ready to paaaaaaartay! 🥳 All day on Tuesday from 7am-midnight we're playing kitchen floorfillers and office chair spinners for another of our infamous all day raves. Requests? Let us know if there's a BIG CHOON we can play for you.

@FrontierCare I sent you a DM at the weekend about rebooking a cancelled flight with an ecredit but haven't had a reply yet..!

@cerysmatthews @BBC6Music ... you played a track a few weeks back from a new release of Macedonian music from the '70s (I think!!!). What was the album called? I want to buy it for my mum's birthday and it's been driving me mad trying to remember!!

@laurenlaverne @BBC6Music I moved from Brighton to Atlanta, GA 6 months ago & I listen every morning on @BBCSounds. In these weird unsettling times when I feel very far from home, you make me feel that much closer. THANK YOU <3 #6musicfamily

One of the most beautiful illustrators of classical mythology, Edmund Dulac, was born 22 Oct. 1882. These pictures in my battered childhood copy of Tanglewood Tales contributed to my later career choice. Circe with Ulysses (he unnecessarily spent a whole year with her) & Cheiron.
