    Hello, friends!
    It's been a little while, but it's a warmer than ever welcome to Episode 20 of Pause and Play it Forward from your hosts, Nicola and Rosie. It's fantastic to have you with us!
    For Music Club this week we listened to legendary soul singer Bobby Womack's The Poet II (featuring the Godmother of Soul, Patti LaBelle) and treated ourselves to Volume 1 of American rapper and producer Guru's experimental series, Jazzmatazz.
    After rummaging around the back of the sofa and finally finding the remote, we compiled a Top Five of tracks about Television. With a choice of artists that includes Blur, Gil Scott-Heron and IDLES you definitely will not want to switch off.
    It's very likely our music memories and interests match yours. So please, pull up a chair or pop in your headphones and join in the chat with us.
    Listen, like, subscribe, tell your mates, sing the bit of the song where you don't know the words or dance like everyone is actually watching - we'd really appreciate your support.
    All the songs we talk about can be found on the Spotify playlist for this week here.

    Hi, and a very sparkly welcome to Episode 16 of Pause and Play it Forward. We're Nicola and Rosie; two busy women with a huge passion for music that we love sharing.
    For Music Club this week we gave our disco balls a dust off and hit the dance floor with Kylie Minogue's Fever, and took a thrilling trip back to the 1990s with Depeche Mode's Violator. Listen in to find out what we thought and the memories both albums conjured up.
    Our Top Five theme this week was 'Queen' and we came up with five tracks that were most definitely fit for a Queen (or King or Prince etc) and would get the royal approval.
    It's very likely that some of our memories, whether from the 90s, 00s or before or beyond, might be the same as yours. So please, pull up a chair or pop in your headphones and join in the chat.
