FRIDAY HAPPY SONGS

Because there is so much doom and gloom around at the moment, we made the decision that this Friday we would turn the airwaves over to our listeners and they would pick their Friday happy songs for the whole three hours.

We got an amazing response and below are the team's picks for the song that gets them smiling plus a selection of songs that were text in by you. And it was such a successful venture, we're thinking of doing it again next Friday so stay tuned to hear more about that.

Colm - Rooney "When Did Your Heart Go Missing"

Lindy - The Foundations "Build Me Up Buttercup"

Amanda - Guns n Roses "Sweet Child O'Mine"

Duggy Highlife - Elbow "One Day Like This"

Helen (newsreader) - Journey "Don't Stop Believing"

Ann (AA Roadwatch) - Queen "We Will Rock You"
