Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs, and caffeine! On this week’s show, Beth ushers in the autumn energy with jams from SWV, June McDoom and Black Sabbath. She hears from the Scottish band Glass Cheques, and listener Abdul in South London requests to hear music from the recently departed British rapper Sway. This week’s Caffeine Kick is guaranteed to get you 'galvanised', with selections from Inner City and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. If you have any requests for the Caffeine Kick, or you’d like to get in touch with the show, get in touch at bethditto@bbc.co.uk.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
