LNL Midnight Mixtape: DIY

Midnight Mixtape: DIY

On the midnight mixtape, Tony Livesey was joined by Paul McNamee to look at listener selections (30/10/2025) with Songs that reference anything found at a DIY store! The inspiration was wen it was suggested by Tony and Paul previously when Peter Gabriel's "Red rain" was mentioned and that he'd (with Sledgehammer) have better chance if it was a "things you'd find in a DIY store".
