Appleton pick the Kickback Tracks

Ahead of their performance at Radio 2 In The Park in Stirling, Appleton choose this week’s Kickback Tracks.

Ahead of their performance at Radio 2 In The Park in Stirling, Angela Griffin invites Appleton to pick this week’s Kickback Tracks.

Natalie Appleton has picked Gregory Abbott’s ‘Shake You Down’, because this song reminds her of her high school angst years and singing this song into a hairbrush.

Nicole Appleton has gone for Nik Kershaw and ‘Wouldn't It Be Good’, because it makes her feel good, it’s easy listening and she loves to sing along to it as she drives around.

Angela also plays their new song ‘Monster’ from their latest EP, as well as music from Dan Hartman, Roberta Flack, Sam Smith, The Streets and Take That.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 2 Unwinds with Angela Griffin".
