We found out something really interesting this week, that one of our colleagues, dark horse Andrew has seen The Boss aka Bruce Springsteen THIRTY TIMES! Ian went to see Bowie seven times, Shauna has seen The Frames about five times (and Westlife six but we'll say nothing about that!) and Mairead confessed to seeing Aslan about twenty times over the years. It turns out, that's nothing compared to the track record of some of our listeners. Wait 'til you get a load of this....
