Passages from the broadcast

Text from the recording. These passages are not linked to a playable clip.

Place in the Premier League earlier, Liverpool briefly overtook their Merseyside neighbours with a 3-1 victory at Bolton. Reds boss Rafa Benitez admits they rode their luck before wrapping up the points. We deserve this result, and at the end, you know, it's football. Sometimes, if you have a little bit of luck, could be better.

Jazz monster, first half is probably a bit too shrill for public consumption on the radio, but this is the second half.

Take us to the end of the show. This is from a record called "Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon." A little bit late, but Sunday is. We've got it's all recorded live. Dizzy Gillespie, Pepper Adams, Chick Corea.
