Shaun Keaveny With A Mix From Luvdup202008316 Music's All Day Rave - carnival edition, returns for the Bank Holiday (Sorry Scotland) with Shaun celebrating everything that has a strong, regular repeated pattern of movement or sound.

Shaun hears from Linett Kamala who at the age of 14, became one of the first female DJs at the Notting Hill carnival and is a long time champion of the event. Linett currently serves as one of the trustees of the Carnival, which of course should have been taking place this weekend and she tells Shaun about her history with Carnival, the music that reminds her of the event and how audiences can support the event this year, remotely.

Shaun also has an exclusive new mix of disco and house from the legendary Luvdup and there is an Album of the Day track from Toots and the Maytals' album Got To Be Tough.
