Odd looking back because Galaxy Radio and GWR FM in Bristol were essentially the same?

love this package even using it on the station

Remember hearing this TOH a few times on Bank Holidays towards the end of the network's time

pure magic - its how networked stations should have sounded, local during daytime, and networked only evenings/late night - now its wall to wall London almost everywhere, with less and less local content

I remember Paul O'Reilly using this instrumental cut to read the three different addresses (Dunstable/Bedford/Northampton) firing off the relevant carts to the correct transmitters.

I remember Galaxy 101 launching... loved it

Oh my god I nearly cried such great time for me working on the network as Andy King, such great people, such great music!
