Welcome To The Weekend Is On The Way
Hi everyone. The end of the working week is fast approaching. On Friday at 7 PM in Ireland and the UK or 2 PM Eastern, it will be time for me, Brian Dalton, to offer you a warm Welcome To The Weekend on www.the-bell.net. For 2 hours I will wipe away the stress of the busy week that has just gone, with a stash of feel good music and friendly banter. This week we have all our regular features as well as an extra treat for you to enjoy.
Kick-Start track. This opening tune of the shows sets the weekend in motion. This time we hear a tune originally released in 1985 in Australia, but not released till the following year in Europe. It certainly will set us up for the weekend.
Double-Take, at half past the first hour of the show, I play two tracks by the same artist as well as telling you some vital facts about the artist in question. This week, Kim Carnes gets this honour and what an extensive music career she has had.
I’m always interested to hear what plans my listeners have for the weekend ahead of them. This weekend, I thought we’d head off on a trip and visit some of the popular musicals that toured the world. For 30 minutes at the top of the second hour, we will hear some of the key tracks from popular musicals, as well as hearing some important facts about the musicals featured.
The Irish Connection. At half past the second hour of the show, I play two tracks by two different Irish artists to show case the excellent talent that Ireland produces musically. This week we feature two artists that have been featured before in this slot, who have some recently released material of a very high quality.
The One That Got Away. This special place in the show is kept for a track that you don’t hear often on the radio. Keeping the musical theme in mind, this week we hear a track from a musical that began touring in 2003, based on the premise of a movie released in 1939 all about a wicket Witch.
Contacting the show is very easy and I’d love to hear from you at any time whether its to request a tune for our features, a tune that puts you in a feel good moode this weekend, to tell me your plans or simply to let me know your listening. You can:

Where ever you are in the world, why not kick off your weekend on www.the-bell.net, calling clearly across the miles.
Happy Friday everyone
