Absolute '80s

Fridays at 7pm

If you like the sound of synths and the beat of a drum machine, or if you get a sense of melancholy when your hand accidentally brushes over the shoulderpads of that sequinned jacket you’ve sworn to the back of the cupboard, then you may want to tune in to Absolute ‘80s.

Neil Francis will be hosting a three hour show every Friday night from 7pm dedicated to the hits from the decade when over-crimped, over hairsprayed hair was a thing to applaud, rather than a thing to recoil from in horror.
