An Evening to Forget – L.U.V.
Saturday, May 28
4pm
Hello, listeners. Let’s talk about l-o-v-e. Or, rather, let’s listen to other people sing about it. I’ve rounded up some songs that will make you want to cuddle up with your sweetie – whether your sweetie is a human being or a bottle of half-drunk wine – on a slow Saturday morning. Perhaps you can find someone off an app, too. Whatever your choice, I hope you enjoy.
