The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
This month, three stars of BBC Radio 2 come to Spalding, including an award-winning band and two popular presenters.
Today (Thursday, November 2), BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners The Young-Uns play the South Holland Centre as part of the BBC Children In Need: Song For Lincolnshire awards.
Entry is free, the night starts at 7pm and will feature performances from the finalists.
Tomorrow (Friday), BBC Radio 2 veteran DJ Johnnie Walker brings his The Boat That Rocked show to the South Holland Centre.
One of the only Pirate Radio DJs still on the airwaves, Johnnie’s show is a fascinating look at one of the cultural turning-points in Britain’s history as we approach the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love.
Walker now presents Sounds of the ‘70s on BBC Radio 2.
