Acweorna! Welcome to the festive edition of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. Before we get going, I need to make a couple of apologises. Firstly, I think Christmas day falls on Sunday this year and welcome Sunday listens with “Today is Christmas Day” that clearly it isn’t and secondly, I say the show ends with Cheap Trick, it doesn’t that honour goes to the Supersuckers. I blame the Flu I’m still getting over that kept me off work last week! Anyway, this week’s show is a full-on Christmas affair. None of your Slade and Wizzard malarkey but bands more akin to Punk, Junk & Glunk. Have a good and peaceful Christmas from myself, Barton, Fenny, Newton and Stacey.
