After School Special: Covers Uncovered (part one)

Ey up me ducks. Fancy hearing an hour's worth of carefully selected cover versions complete with insightful commentary courtesy of your devoted DJ? Well, tough. The always reliable URF stream cut out after 45 minutes, so that's what you'll have to make do with, I'm afraid. Will return next week with covers part two, I guess. Ah well. Listen and enjoy anyway...
