Synopsis

Join the 3.46 club with your early morning host Richard Allinson. To be a member, all you need to do is be up at 3.46am!

This week Richard celebrates the Great British Songbook, with music from David Bowie and Simple Minds. There's also a Peter Gabriel cover recorded by Gary Go, and a listener chooses a cover from Amy Winehouse. The Album Of The Day is Carly Simon's 1974 release Hotcakes.

3:46 CLUB

Congratulations to every new member of the 3:46 Club! Welcome to my inner circle, especially those on the move at the time, including:

- Trucker Dave, who's off to Balmouth with a load of chilled goodies.

- Keith from Burton, driving a coach from Manchester to Dover.

- And Tony Fat Arms on his way home after 5 days away from his family. I'm sure they'll get a big, fat hug when you get back.

The Main Event

The Boss himself continues to be The Main Event for you guys, and Steph got in touch to say that she was going to see Bruce Springsteen in Dublin tonight.
