Mixing it up a bit on Queen of the Night – celebrating what would have been the King of Pop’s 63rd birthday.

We hear some of Michael Jackson’s music, jazz style, and for further contrast,

a bit of Sting with music by Schubert, lyrics by Donovan (of Mellow Yellow fame, if you’re of a certain age!)

Maybe not what you expect from QOTN but don’t let that put you off, this is a fabulous podcast!
