My passion is music from the 1980s but other periods include some pretty decent tunes too! At least half of the tunes I play will be from the 1980s but I will intersperse songs from after (and before) when it feels appropriate.
At the start of each show, my hastily-written computer code picks a random date from the 60s, 70s or 80, and I have to fill 58 minutes with music and news from that date. The URY record library gets a bit patchy if we go back to the 60s, so wish me luck!
Welcome to Old Soul! This show features all the music I (Kiera) love — my fave oldies, pop music and songs I grew up listening to. If you've ever been told that your taste in music lives in the past, this show is for you!
Join me for some great tunes, with a bit of gossip about life and pop culture along the way <3

Expect to hear some iconic 1970s-1990s bangers, intertwined with fun facts about specific influential years in rock music.

You know the name, but how much do you know of the woman or her policies?

And now we're playing them all!
Taking you through '70s and '80s post punk and indie through to modern day alternative rockers, In Between Days begins on a lively note and gradually dials down the distortion with the classics (and the not-so-classics) of indie, rock and britpop, plus a special guest, plus shoegaze.
