In this week’s show we stuck up for the Rolling Stones and recalled when London Councilor Bernard Brook Partridge said punk groups would be vastly improved by sudden death. It’s fair to say dear Bernard wouldn’t have been a fan of our show this week, what with a chilling track from Joy Division and a new single from the excellent Midwich Cuckoos.
We remembered dear Freddie and when Sting carried your bag for you. We also celebrated The Foo Fighters induction into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of fame, when Jerry Lee Lewis rocked at 71 years of age, and once again we doffed our cap to the Dame.
We even showed how Elvis upgraded a Gordon Lightfoot song by simply wearing a Cowboy hat. Plus, we got into the mood for another Soul Weekender, and tested your musical knowledge on lyrics from Queen and when Slade stomped to the Top of the Pops? Plus, we presented a ‘massive remix’ of Gerry and the Pacemaker’s Liverpool anthem. COYI!
