[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@bbc5live @bbc5live @tonylivesey only one choice… Nightswimming by R.E.M. please 🙏 https://t.co/QROHtjrMbu

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@bbc5live @tonylivesey what about a bit of Sting… Englishman in New York 😉

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@AndyMitten Arrived today, finally… looking forward to getting into it

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live @weeclaire ❤️

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Hi @ColinMurray For the very last time… but it’s not goodbye, but more au revoir. Here’s one for the ages, and it’s just for you😉Nina Simone and ‘Feeling Good’ https://t.co/BADqQjoxXL

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @weeclaire @PauldMcNamee @ColinMurray I just listened back, as is my pleasure every Friday AM. I cannot thank you enough for the show - too many highlights to pick out, but this last mixtape had me all over the place as ever. Thank you 🙏

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Hi Colin. Thank you for this particular feature over the years. #mmt will be missed. Last effort for a shout out goes to Elbow and “Friends of Ours”. The first line says it all… “Before leaving get to the bar, no one round here makes you pay” https://t.co/eKVSML3gRD 🍻

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Here’s one for you, Colin… the Dubliners and “The band plays waltzing Matilda” https://t.co/Jv2jhRc3GA

[Comedy in Tring @tringefestival]

It was a wonderful evening of comedy with Romesh Ranganathan and Jake Lambert.
Thank you all for coming.
We did a booksigning with Romesh after the show and have some extra signed copies in @Our_Bookshop

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live @weeclaire @ColinMurray Just listened back and this is one of your best #mmt - good job well done 👍. Going to miss this when it’s gone.

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Bit late to this Colin, but my shout for the hidden track is “OFF The Wall” by MJ #mmt https://t.co/whvBCRTW4r

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live @PauldMcNamee Colin, given the ‘news’ which we won’t mention again until NYE, it has to be Diana Ross for tonight’ #MMT - not least as I listen back every Friday morning with you keeping me company at work. Thank you 🙏 https://t.co/RjcRmKBzxo

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live No mention of the lead singer…

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live “Walk On” by U2 for the theme tonight, Colin. Here’s their Ukraine version, if you like… https://t.co/LI4ggpxxh1

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Hi Colin. I think we need this banger tonight - U2 Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me https://t.co/8nmsVuXHVI - go on, son! Play it

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Colin, how about a bit of Manhattan Transfer and Chanson D’Amour - maybe as this week’s hidden track?? https://t.co/KzGttuIMYT

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Hi Colin… I reckon ‘Mrs Robinson’ by Simon & Garfunkel is a must for tonight’s mixtape. Don’t let me down. https://t.co/MzVCvcHb8j

[Martin Eccles @redsummer99]

@ColinMurray @bbc5live @weeclaire OMD’s classic “Enola Gay”, please Colin https://t.co/DEBIpuKJNw
