Honouring International Women's Day and Mother's Day the boys roll out an all female cast for show #27. It's a fantastic music day at SS Central, with a playlist testament to the influence, importance and power of women, many of whom had to overcome challenges most of us would fold like a cheap tenner in the face off. News! at Nearly 5 and the Three Frae keep things on left of centre. Dig in, it's a great show.

Notes:
Every week we owe a major gratitude to NASA for commissioning some folk to create the pictures that are the design features of our flyers. We love them, we hope you do too, and that maybe you'll go to their rather fine open source online vault and seek them out for yourselves, maybe pay a local to frame one!
If you enjoy the show please like, share and get friends listening. Deek will see you next time, 25 March 2018, 4-6pm www.groovecityradio.com with special guest…
Love, Deek & Ricardo!
Ps – for the avoidance of doubt News! at Nearly 5, sponsor groups and all other material is totally fictitious, intended to cause no harm – reputational, personal, professional etc. – towards anyone. If you feel hard done by please drop us a line. But we do hope you see the funny side.
The only real things are the music, Deek and Ricardo and anything else you want to believe!
