Posted on by steve

NHR are pleased to bring you a Valentine’s Day staff request show special.

The Twitter feeds have been a buzz with tales of romantic tunes, memories and wedding day first dances. So, we thought we would compile the list and play as many as we can.

So, a 4 hour special it is, with over 50 requests.

Thanks to Richard Smith for asking the valentines song question in the first place.

Tune in between 16:00 and 20:00 on Valentines Sunday to hear all the loved up songs. 

Don’t forget, you can listen online, or via app http://nhradio.org.uk/play-online/
