We talk about the Beatles Anthology series, how they came to record two new songs without the presence of John Lennon and after 25 years how they would complete what is now known as the last EVER Beatles song, Now And Then. As always we hope you enjoy and we'll see you next time!

    Groovecast - S3 Ep3: Three of a Kind

    Hello and welcome back to Groovecast! In todays episode we find a new way to squeeze a top three out of arguably our favourite artist, Sir Paul McCartney.  We decided to task ourselves with filling these three categories. 1. The Obvious One - A big hit that you can't help but love. 2. The Groovy One -A track with a funky bass line or rhythm that you can't help but groove to. 3. Deep Cut - A lesser known track that we believe is underrated and needs more attention. As always we hope you enjoy this episode and we'll see you next time!
