A show to turn even the lamest of squares into far-out foot tappers.
Over the course of the show, extreme levels of rockabilly will be pumped through the airwaves of URY, from Elvis Presley to The Big Bopper, all with the intention of providing maximum satisfaction.
The show will consist of anecdotes relating to the music in question, explorations into the popular themes and concepts of rockabilly/rock 'n' roll (such as a show dedicated to 'Death Discs'), as well as interviews with individuals who remember watching the rock 'n' roll stars of the 1950s in their heyday. Playing the big hits of the 1950s, as well as with the secret 7" golddust that's been hiding in the attic, this show will provide a roster of early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly that will make you want to turn your fringe into a quiff, your Volkswagen into a Cadillac, and your Carling into a Cherry Coke.
Designed to get the sleepyheads out of bed, Wake Up With Wallbank provides a mix of cheerful chatter, tantalising tunes and insightful interviews all based around the theme of the week.
Each week will have a morning related theme, be it breakfast cereal or alarm clock troubles, that will be dealt with in a unique fashion.
If Oscar Wilde was right when he said 'only dull people are brilliant at breakfast', then Mike Wallbank must be one of the dullest people this side of Thirsk, as this show is guaranteed to get you geared up for the day ahead.
