The Big L Fab Forties
Sundays 1100
Wednesdays 1800

In collaboration with Radio London, the Oldies Project team brings you a very special feature. Every Sunday at 1100 UK time, (repeated on Wednesdays at 1800 UK time), you'll be able to enjoy the records from the Big L Fab 40 first broadcast from the mv Galaxy during the same week, 43 years ago.

During the rest of the week, you'll hear a great music mix which includes a couple of Fab 40 faves each hour, preceded by a Radio London Jingle!

Comment from the Oldies Project Guest Book:
"I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Without exaggeration, over the one day I've been listening I've heard more long-forgotten favorites than I have in 10 years of listening to 'formula' oldies stations here in the US!"
How Oldies Project and their broadcasts of the Big L Fab Forty came into being
