[cma-l] Sheffield Live! 93.2FM to broadcast from the Fourth Plinth

[Phil Korbel]

Excellent idea Alan - and lovely use of that limelight for us all.

Now the fun has to be in coming up wth appropriate tunes to play during the
show - 'I Love My Baby 'Cos She Does Good Sculptures' by the Rezillo's
perhaps?

best wishes,

Phil
