February 2026 09:00-11:00am<\/strong><br>Join Fred and the cats broadcasting live from home studio. This morning&#8217;s show opens in pure feel-good fashion, with a bright 1970s welcome setting the tone for a relaxed, confident start to the weekend. From there, the programme unfolds into a wide-ranging Saturday morning journey, where familiar voices turn up in unexpected settings and well-known songs are heard through fresh lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the morning, the music moves easily between eras and styles &#8211; from soul, pop and classic songwriting to country crossover, blues-rock grit and indie sparkle. There are moments of warmth and uplift, alongside deeper roots influences, with playful contrasts sitting comfortably next to thoughtful connections. A familiar song reappears from a different decade, a forgotten favourite resurfaces with renewed energy, and genre boundaries quietly blur as the show reshapes itself hour by hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With room for both recognition and surprise, this edition balances joy, curiosity and character, inviting you to listen in, stay a while, and rediscover just how wide &#8211; and rewarding &#8211; the musical landscape can be on a Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfb6 Music Played<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABBA<\/strong> &#8211; Dancing Queen<br><strong>Earth, Wind &amp; Fire with The Emotions<\/strong> &#8211; Boogie Wonderland<br><strong>Chic<\/strong> &#8211; My Forbidden Lover<br>\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf1 <strong>Guus Meeuwis<\/strong> &#8211; We Leven Nu<br><strong>Cat Burns <\/strong>&#8211; I Hope It&#8217;s Me<br><strong>R.B.
