Everyone, thanks again for your suggestions, several of which are already on the playlist.
I've got two follow-ups. One is re the lyrics of "Dukla Prague away kit" which I'm going to have to explain, live, on air, and probably in Czech😂. Is the away kit on the Subbuteo team, or is the kid himself wearing the kit while he's playing?
Now I've got another track I want to get hold of if possible. It's Springsteen doing "Santa Claus is coming to town', live. BUT not the version that's easy enough to find. The one I'm after starts with Bruce doing an opening monologue wherein he talks about "Me' n' Steve" (van Zandt) walking at night down a snowy street (I suppose Asbury Park), and then some kind of Christmas magic happens. It's pretty old - in my fading memory bank, I heard it on Capital Radio back in the day, played by Roger Scott, who was an early Springsteen champion. If this jogs the memory of any Springsteen fan, please lead me to it. Cheers!

Talking of Aussie Christmases, Kevin Bloody Wilson has done loads of Christmas tunes. Can't repeat the titles here though.
