“Everyone is welcome to my radio sanctuary – from the furry to the feathered – and I look forward to all the photos and videos of pets chilling out with me and enjoying the music.”
The station says that "while fireworks displays are spectacular, for our furry, scaly and feathered friends, they can be stressful and often traumatic" and that the shows are designed to "help pets, and their owners, stay calm and relaxed." https://twitter.com/ClassicFM/status/1720149021531205713?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet The programmes are supported by the RSPCA and will be broadcast from 6pm to 10pm in both Friday and Saturday night. Along with the relaxing music, the shows will also feature advice and tips from the RSPCA on how to keep animals calm during firework season. Much of the music will be pet-related, such as Elgar's last work which was named after his dog Mina, and from animal-loving composers such as Debussy, who had several cats, and Wagner, whose pets included a Newfoundland called Russ and a King Charles Spaniel called Peps.
