So, the credits roll (to a soundtrack of Yesterday of course):

I was Dan Scott, I can sleep now. You can find me here or email here.

Many thanks firstly to Ed Baxter, whose idea Radio Yesterday was in the first place. And also thanks to everyone else at Resonance FM.

A huge hand to Piers Gibbon, the voice of Radio Yesterday.

Special thanks to Hillebrand Peerdeman and Herbie Yesterday for their help gathering tracks.

João Pimentel’s site was also a great help:

Also, thanks to all the artists who created these covers, even the panpipe ones.

And finally, the biggest thank you to Sir Paul McCartney for having the immense talent and foresight to have written Yesterday in the first place. A Happy Birthday to you as well.

This is where we scroll through our favourite Yesterday memories, in soft focus:

Hello, Acker Bilk.

We’re moving towards the final hour, which has been handpicked by Ed and he promises is classic. So, put your feet up, raise your glasses and enjoy.
