Including 3 &#8216;Songs for My Best Friend&#8217; and a &#8217;70s edition of the weekly Monday Evening Wind-Down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud834\udd1f\u20dd\ud83d\udc9e A Song for My Best Friend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week&#8217;s song for my core friendship group &#8211; for Hannah, Ida, Calum, Anna and Victoria &#8211; is <strong>Fleetwood Mac &#8211; Landslide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every song about change is loud about it. Landslide is one of those quiet reflections on time, growth, and everything that shifts along the way. Sometimes, the people who matter most are the ones who see those changes up close &#8211; who stay, who understand, and who grow alongside you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song is less about saying it outright, and more about everything that doesn\u2019t need to be said. Alongside it, I also played a couple of personal picks from friends themselves: Simple choices that say just as much in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcbb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/2026\/04\/18\/behind-the-mic-choosing-the-music\/\">Behind the Mic: Choosing the Music<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/2026\/04\/18\/behind-the-mic-choosing-the-music\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2026\/04\/april2026-280x180.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15220\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This month&#8217;s Behind the Mic blog is all about how I choose the music for my show each week. Building the perfect show is not about playing every single genre, just to tick a box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From my point of view I am picking songs based on what fits. I try to avoid grouping together all the Country songs in one go, followed by all the Jazz songs. I mix them all up \u2013 and decide, based on listening to the songs, what I think works. If a jazz song works next to a rock song, great. If not, I\u2019ll put two or three between them to ease that transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/2026\/04\/18\/behind-the-mic-choosing-the-music\/\">Read the full blog at www.FredHart.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfb6 Music Played<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rod Stewart<\/strong> &#8211; You Wear It Well<br><strong>Bonnie Raitt<\/strong> &#8211; Under the Falling Sky<br><strong>Dolly Parton<\/strong> &#8211; Highway Headin&#8217; South<br><strong>The Bellamy Brothers<\/strong> &#8211; Let Your Love Flow &#8211; <em><strong>for Rachel<\/strong><\/em><br><strong>ABBA<\/strong> &#8211; Take a Chance on Me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud834\udd1f\u20dd\ud83d\udc9e A Song for My Best Friend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Hannah, Ida, Calum, Anna &amp; Victoria:<\/strong><br><strong>Fleetwood Mac<\/strong> &#8211; Landslide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curtis Mayfield<\/strong> &#8211; Move On Up<br><strong>Quincy Jones<\/strong> &#8211; Stuff Like That<br><strong>Average White Band<\/strong> &#8211; Pick Up the Pieces<br><strong>Queen<\/strong> &#8211; You and I &#8211; <strong><em>for Ida<\/em><\/strong><br><strong>Chic<\/strong> &#8211; Le Freak<br><strong>Elton John<\/strong> &#8211; Crocodile Rock<br><strong>Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel<\/strong> &#8211; Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)<br><strong>T.
