The holiday edition of Saturday Night’s Alright (for podcasting) is a real treat. We feature recently released EP The Gus Dudgeon Sessions 1975-2025 from one of Rocket Records’ earliest signings, Maldwyn Pope, as well as REJ.World veteran Phil “Phlop” Greenfield join George Matlock. We hear how Davey Johnstone arrived with a truck of instruments to record for Mal, how Elton mentored the “16-year-old failure”, and how Phlop fell out with John Reid but still delivered the master tape of Tommy to Eel Pie Island – wrapped in kitchen foil to avoid crude airport x-ray security detectors. Pinner also deliver a double-bill of songs fit for the season!

The show is on Platinum since 24 December 2025, and free on Silver since 27 December at 1800 GMT. Merry Christmas!
