Solstice songs and festive chat

Mark and Stuart celebrate winter solstice with a seasonal selection of solstice and Christmas songs alongside a feast of festive chat.

Mark and Stuart present a festive feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they mark the winter solstice with a seasonal selection of solstice and Christmas songs alongside a feast of festive chat. Plus there's potato-based snack sampling in another instalment of 'Crisps On The Radio.'

Also on the show... 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8700 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

With a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 6 Music
