On this week’s show we celebrated Spandau Ballet in kilts. Madness sung an ode to West Ham. How Candi Staton singing an Aretha Franklin record started her career. How Jah Wobble’s bass defined John Lydon’s Public Image and when Ian McCulloch threw a hissy fit. We remembered Gene McFadden, Fleetwood Mac selling the odd copy of Rumours and how I discovered John Martyn thanks to a two hour impromptu tribute from Danny Baker. We guessed the lyrics from Dexys and quizzed your chart knowledge on whay year Foreigner and Queen had #1 records. All in all, not a bad way to spend two hours.
