This show is dedicated to the memory of Rob Stewart, host of "British Airwaves", one of CKCU's earliest and best programs which he presented into 1983 before departing Ottawa, leaving a lasting legacy for aficionados of eclectic music from the UK, and providing me with an opportunity to step into his shoes to carry the program on for a few more years. Tonight's program is entirely music from the UK...
