It's time to roll up your sleeves and head on down to St Vincent's because the BEST EVER episode of West Midlands Hospital Radio is out now.
This week we give blood a bad name and plunge the needle deep into an armful of red hot hits, as we put the punk in arterial puncture, and the disco into…. Discoing to hurt a little bit... (what?)
Tune in now for a sticky pool of pumping pop thumpers for every kind of blood type. A, B, AB… even, and I apologise for this, a little bit of Type O Negative…. PLUS! at least one genuinely good joke! Jingles! A massive rave up! A surprisingly heartfelt tribute to Discharge! Celebrities struggling to start their cars! Taylor Swift, Slayer AND Spitting Blood! All on the same bloody show!
