You might’ve noticed we’ve gone quiet on...

We’re now off air for the Christmas break because of maintenance at the student's union. But don’t worry, you can catch up with our latest shows on MixCloud and listen to our newest playlists on Spotify.

Help us solve the mystery! We have been finding messages scattered throughout other songs, and being left for us on the twitter of our very own Mascot’s account, Delyth the Dragon!

We believe this is some kind of challenge, but we need your help to put the pieces together and crack the code!

Our clues so far are…
1. A message hidden inside Ride It by Regard saying “He’s coming” on the Saturday Chart Show.

2. A message hidden inside Good as Hell by Lizzo on the Monday Breakfast Show with a section of the alphabet from H to P, but suspiciously with the L missing.

3. Delyth tweets us! On Tuesday Delyth posted a tweet with a poem and another song with a message saying “the clock is ticking, tick tock tick tock”.

4. On Wednesday it seemed all was quiet, but then in the afternoon we received another tweet urging us to tune into the Thursday breakfast show, ‘Hanging with Tilly and Erin’.

5. During their show Tilly and Erin found the main desk computer was remotely taken over and someone (maybe Delyth!) typed out that they should check the Xpress twitter, which they did and found that Delyth has sent another tweet, this time with just three numbers, 3500, 6834, 1206 - what on earth could this mean!

So how can you help? Listen in to Xpress and Keep an eye on our socials! We will update you with new clues as they come in. Check out our Twitter and our Instagram for more details. We don’t know what Delyth, or whoever is posing as her, is up to but if you have any suspicions, or hear anything unusual that you think might be important, let us know
