We're back with a new Pop In The Real World format - Uncovered.

We'll be playing songs from the past that may have slipped by unnoticed, been forgotten or that you simply haven't heard for a while. For us, the past begins about six months ago and fizzles out some time during the 1960s.

In this show, we have more Swedish indie pop than you'll hear anywhere outside Sweden. We'll hear some excellent songs from the likes of the Clientele, Montgolfier Brothers, Mark Fry and Clayhill, and some heart warming back stories to them too. We'll also be foraging briefly through the 80s and 90s with lots of other great songs too.
