 Its refreshing to come across somebody in the national media who is so
happy to publicise the group.
Pretty neat that he kept the Hawkwind track until the last play of his
stint - leaving his audience with that memory. I suppose that the BBC (who
own Radio2 for those outside the UK) stipulated Silver Machine because it
would be a track that at least some of the general audience might recognise.
All we need now is a new studio album for him to publicise.
