Tune! with Beth Charlesworth

If it rocks and it’s tuneful, you’ll find it here. Singles that fit the bill this week include Big Big Train, Smith/Kotzen and Beyond the Black. Peter Goalby released a long-lost album. I’ve been enjoying watching Stray recently, so they figure in the show, as do cuts from the back catalogues of Diamond Head, Heart and Korpiklaani. Keep up to date with the latest about the show by following me on Twitter/X @BethCharleswor5. Playlist: Korpiklaani – Let’s Drink Smith/Kotzen – Blindsided Stray – I Believe It Lost in Hollywood feat.

They come in many forms, but these rock songs are all catchier than the seasonal lurgy. This week was big on singles, ranging from Michael Monroe to N2O and from The Rods to Chez Kane. Add to that some British Lion and The Raven Age, because I’ve seen both live recently, and one of my favourite Orden Ogan songs just because I can.

Playlist: Orden Ogan – The Things We Believe In Jaime – Above and Beyond N2O – Radio Greystone Canyon – Stealing Our Freedom The Rods – Tears for the Innocent The Gems – Hot Bait Michael Monroe – Disconnected British Lion – Eyes of the Young The Veer Union – Meet Your Maker The Raven Age – Visions Chez Kane – Love Tornado FM – Tough it Out Liv Kristine – Lotus (acoustic version)

Searching far and wide to bring you the catchiest tunes in rock. That means singles from the likes of Sabaton, Joel Hoekstra’s 13 and Cyhra, albums by Cheap Trick and N.Y.C., a Saxon track I enjoyed hearing live recently and songs you know and love from Yes, Nightwish and Thunder. If this is your kind of music (and it’s always an eclectic mix, so there’s bound to be something that is), follow me on Twitter/X @BethCharleswor5 or at my Substack.
