Midnight Mixtape: Walls

Bring on the wall

On the midnight mixtape, Colin Murray was joined by Claire Lim to look at listener selections (30/11/2023) with Songs that reference walls based on the release on this day in 1979 of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"!
With the passing of Shane MacGowan of the Pogues, there was a consideration for a last minute change of theme, fortunately Shane did write a few songs with walls in it... RIP!
