Eclectique 09:10:10

After two weeks away in Japan, it was good to see The Sheik back in the cockpit in Studio A. While an overnight flight left him a little shy on sleep, he wasn’t being shy behind the mic “I don’t know what I’ll say, but I do know what I’ll play”. And so he went on….. and on about his time in Japan, including an admission of “whale tasting”, then “protest throwing up”.

The biggest admission of the night was announced early too…… and repeated several times after, that being that tonight’s show was the second last Eclectique show…. ever! So The Sheik delved into some old faves, and promised more faves saved for next weeks show….his last. Hope you can tune in then.
