Neil Dunford, Steve Crowley and Tim Punter, three friends and music lovers go on a musical journey every month. One DJ kicks things off and chooses, the next has to come up with a link for the next tune, trying to avoid the odd delivery in the corridor of uncertainty. Tim and Neil fronted Wiiija band Mucho Macho, with Neil continuing to run club nights such as UBDJ at 93Feet East. Steve fronted a jazz show on Concept FM, contributing to various Jazz rare groove albums.
