Is there a specific song you play in the morning to get you ready for the day?

"We just put Radio 1 on. Chris Moyles is funny. He puts us in a good mood to start setting up for the day. Then we have a selection of CDs that play on random throughout the day. They are mostly the easy listening ones you get with the paper - just because everyone knows them."

"ELO - 'Mr Blue Sky'. We had a band here on Monday that play ELO music. I think it is a brilliant song - We're a music pub so we have all kinds of bands playing here - everything from Glenn Miller big-band stuff to Rolling Stones tributes.We've got a Hill Billy band coming over from the States soon."

"We listen to the Riding FM in the mornings. We won the competition on Tuesday. I was an entertainer for 30 years. I worked with all the stars - including the Beatles. Paul McCartney actually spoke to me, he said: 'Get out of the road.'"

"Corinne Bailey Rae - 'Put Your Records On'. It is a bit funky and gets me in the mood for the day. I listen to a lot of pop. We all really like Chico - he's fab. I've been trying to find his CD but it seems to have sold out everywhere!"
