Show Highlights for the Weekend!

Hi to all

You may have seen from our Schedule page that we've made a few small changes for the time being.

In the Music Machine at 7 PM Saturday, our mini theme is Eurovision. Now That's What I Call Eurovision was released today, so we'll tell you what's good and not so good about the album, play plenty of Eurovision tracks and we'll include songs from the actual contests. The whole of hour 2 of the show is devoted to Eurovision. In hour 1, we have our usual features.

Those Who Are Gone But Not Forgotten.

Sadly, it has been quite a week for high profile celebrities in the music business passing away this week.

You will have heard that Jim Steinman died on 19 April. He was a composer, lyricist, Record Producer and Playwright. He did a great deal of work with artists such as Air Supply, Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler, to name but three. He will be sadly missed.

Easter is On the Way!

Hi everyone

Easter is approaching, and we have a long holiday weekend. We always try to do something a little different during this period, and so we have a slight change to our shows this coming Sunday. For the many people who tell us they love Retro Day, that isn't going anywhere.

All Our Shows Are Back This Week!

A very happy new year to everyone.

We really hope you enjoyed our special holiday programming. We loved producing it for you.

Our usual shows all return this week together with a new one, the Magic Carpet Ride, all the good music from children's animated movies. There's plenty of Disney, but plenty of music from other movies too, including songs from some of the big names in pop. So do join Lulu for that one, Saturday at 5 PM.

Coming Soon: Take A Magic Carpet Ride Without Even Stepping Outside!

Here at Team-FM we pride ourselves on the variety of music we play. You can hear songs from the past ninety years of recorded music, from folk to funk, jazz to jive, from the dance tunes of the 1930's to the dance tune that was released two days ago. But recently we've been thinking about the kind of music we hear when we watch some of our favourite movies. When do we hear that on Team-FM? Usually only once a year. All that is about to change!.

Team-FM Means More Christmas!

Hi to All

We hope all your preparations for Christmas are going well.

As usual, Brian D will be unwrapping the main Christmas programme schedule this year as he always does. Team-FM means more Christmas and we have more shows this time than any other year. But before we get to that, we have some special shows lined up for you on the run-up to Christmas Eve.

Be In With a Chance of Winning Some CD box Sets!

Hi to all

You'll know as part of the Music Machine show, every week I tell you about all the new box sets which are available and where I can, I play songs directly from them so you can hear how they sound. Well, we're giving away some of these CD box sets. Now we've put them all on the computer, we have no use for them, so we thought we'd give them to you instead. Many of these box sets are quite highly priced so they are definitely worth having.

Three is a Crowd Returns!

Do you remember our show Three is a Crowd we had during the major lockdown? Well it's back! You can hear it each Saturday and Sunday at 11 PM UK.

Each week, you'll hear songs that were number 3 this week in previous years. On Saturday nights, it's the 80's and beyond. On Sundays, it's the 60's and beyond.

Hear the songs and the facts behind some of them in Three is a Crowd!

Enjoy your day!

All at Team-FM

Changing Times!

Hi to All

You will remember back in March when lockdown in the UK began, we introduced some extra shows to lift the spirits of everyone. While we've received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about these, we confirmed that they would only be in place for several weeks. In fact they've been on air every week for close to six months. We hope you have enjoyed them.

The time has come however to make some changes and say goodbye to some shows, at least for the moment in the current series. We do apologise for this. So, here are the changes.

Get Ready for a 70's Sunday Lunch!

Hi everyone

When you think of music from the 70's, is it glam and glitter that springs instantly to mind? There was a gentler side to the music of the 70's: songs which were melodic that everyone could sing along to. That's what we'll be having every week at 1 PM in 70's Sunday Lunch.

Not all the songs will be down tempo, but we're certain that it's the kind of music you will enjoy while you are eating that lovely roast lamb or whatever takes your fancy. Most songs you will probably know, but we also have the occasional album track as well.
