Live and local music, special guests and lots of fun for a Saturday morning.
Today's guests include a young Taekwondo champ and an 'agent for positivity'.
We'll meet three young musicians who are taking on the pop charts with a catchy new song penned by Mike Stock (of Stock, Aitken and Waterman) and a video filmed in Devon.
Plus there's plenty of live music mixed in with chart hits from the past five decades, the music theme (this week it's holiday destinations), and - after midday - Moxham's Movies too.
