This week Paula and Angela celebrate the anniversary of David Bowie’s final studio album, ‘Blackstar’, and the hidden messages within the artwork and also his birthday. The 8th of January isn't only David Bowie's birthday, but also Dame Shirley Bassey's. We dive into her work with John Barry on some of the most famous Bond theme tunes.

New music this week comes from GENN 'Feel' and The Ringards 'Helen Mirren.
