Spoony’s alter-ego Dr Beat is required in another surgery so trusty locum Dr Odoom is on hand to prescribe a musical pick-me-up for a lucky listener. Whether your Monday has gone spectacularly off the rails, you’re recovering from an eventful weekend, or you simply need a track to mark a special occasion, get in touch for a 'telephone consultation' in exchange for the perfect tune to match your situation!
