We round-up the last week in music, including news you might’ve missed, our #SongOfTheDay playlist and Classic Of The Week

It’s been an interesting week folks, one which has brought the stunning opening ceremony to the Rio 2016 Paralympics, claims that Daniel Craig could continue as James Bond for 002 further films and news that you could soon pick up a snozzcumber from your local supermarket. To top it all off, Team Songwriting are here with a whiz pop and a whiz bang to bring you the first of our weekly round-up specials.
