Apologies, but we’ve had to postpone the Embrace special until next week because of technical problems.

The show, featuring tracks from throughout the band’s career dating back almost two decades, will now go out on Thursday 3 April from 8pm to 9m.

Last night we played a repeat of our show highlighting music from the CD box set accompanying the book Bradford’s Noise of the Valleys Volume 2. The tracks played were:
