Blink and you missed the summer. Still it was longer than usual. Never mind, The Cat will warm the cockles of your heart with the usual grab bag of goodies. We’ll have two rounds of the Connect 3 game, we’ll celebrate the birthday of the Dave Clark Five’s Lenny Davidson and this week’s Foreign Language track comes French chanteuse Nicoletta .

In June, I’ll be celebrating the small but perfectly formed British indie label of the 1960s Ember Records, including many rare and previously unreleased tracks, as well as alternate mixes.
If you’re in the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy you can hear Where The Action Is on Channel 3 on your bedside headphones or on the 1287AM on the Medium Wave.
That’s it for this week. Until next time, it’s good day and good health.
