Classic hits, expertly curated, with a few curveballs, forgotten gems and rarities too.

Johnnie’s here to take you way back once more with amazing music, great archive and another top guest.

Simon Kirke was the drummer in two legendary bands during the ‘70s, both of which are still hugely admired and cherished to this day. Free and Bad Company delivered a string of classic hits including the rock anthems All Right Now, Wishing Well, My Brother Jake, Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love and many more. Now over 300 fans have contributed first hand eye-witness stories of the band’s live performances, and they’ve been lovingly assembled into an amazing new book called Rock ’N’ Roll Fantasy. Direct from his home in New York, Simon chats to Johnnie about those days as a hairy twenty-something performing in one of Britain’s most acclaimed bands, so expect some cool anecdotes and stories.

Yorkshireman Andy Williams selects our latest entry into Johnnie’s Jukebox.

This Week In Music celebrates Roy Wood’s birthday, plus a chart debut for Alvin Stardust, the release of the fourth untitled album from another set of rock legends, and an American singer-songwriter whose second album slipped under the radar when it first appeared in 1973, but it’s now regarded as a classic.

We’ve more of your stories, dedications and song requests right across the show.
