The Wedding Playlist
The Wedding Playlist was introduced in Episode 004. As Shaun moved from BBC Radio 6 Music, which kept him up to date on new music, he created this playlist to keep him in touch with new music.[1]
The playlist contains tracks following the phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue". Typically the borrowed track is from a suggestion or something SWK has heard during the week, and the blue track is either a blues feel or contains the word 'blue' in the title.
