Beth brightens up your Saturday with a dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine!

Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! This week, she’s got music from Buddy Holly, Sylvester, Hazel O’Connor, Mobb Deep and Santigold. Her Matter of Life and Beth is a nod to the celebrations of 4th July (with a self-knowing wink). Plus, Beth's got another burst of energy in the form of the Caffeine Kick, which contains selections from Baccara, Stereo Total and Doja Cat. Get your weekend moving with Beth Ditto on the radio!

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
