Follow the Red Thread they said. See where it ends up. Our new radio show "The Red Thread" with Tim Cooper. Follow the links on a journey of musical mayhem, can you get to the finish line? It's the show where every song is linked to the one before!
The title of the show by the way comes from an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives. This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.
Play along wherever you are and see if you can make the link.

MIck Hall presents “That 90’s & 00’s Show”. We asked Mick how he got the idea for the show. He recalls the trigger.
“Lockdown brought a lot of sad times, but also brought a lot of us all closer together. Many moons ago when I was a lot younger I used to work with a man that did mobile disco's. So as you do when you are young, I popped along and was hooked straight away. So I jumped onto the bandwagon and got involved hands on, how all the gear worked etc etc”
Mick did that for many years then got into the pub and club circuit. However after getting married the years slipped by he forgot his musical hobby for many years. In 2020 things changed because of Lockdown. Mick started doing sets online, Instagram & Facebook etc which rekindled the passion.
He then got in touch with his old boss who ran a local radio station. As Mick recalled “after a few beers I sweet talked him into a regular show”.
Things took off and Mick Hall put together "That 90's & 00's Show"
