It's Feelgood Friday with Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show, the best way to start the weekend with brilliant music and hilarious chat. Album & Record of the Week included also.

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. This morning, Alex is taking a bright-side approach to the snow that has engulfed the country, plus more bright-side celebrations of finishing runner-up (and lower) in "It Takes Two". It's all about the bright side on the dark side of the day. There is a final chance for the week to warm your cockles in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20a.m.
From Lester's Library there is a track from legendary pedal-steel guitarist, Lloyd Green, and one from emerging soulstress, Queen Emily. The Listener's Library track is an air-guitar classic from Warrant. There is one more track from Album of the Week by Duffy, plus Record of the Week by Diane Birch. Buffoons are go!
