Year Of The Cat... revisited

Two hours of great memories and the very best music, all lovingly curated by Johnnie, and there’s more from his recent chat with Al Stewart on the Year Of The Cat deluxe reissue.

Two hours of great memories and the very best music, all lovingly curated by Johnnie.

And there’s more from his recent chat with Al Stewart on the Year Of The Cat deluxe reissue.

Al spoke on the phone last month from his home in California, and there are some previously unheard clips from that interview along with a couple of excellent tracks from that classic 1976 album, which is getting a 45th anniversary makeover via a special 4-CD boxed set.

This Week In Music features birthdays from three musical legends as well as other noteworthy events from across the decade.

Sounds Of The 70s listener Leyton Thomas brings back visions of those wonderful days during the long hot Summer of ’76 with his selection of a Disco anthem for Johnnie Jukebox.

And, as always, there are lots of your great stories, song requests and dedications throughout the show.

For a mention, get in touch at any time during the week: walker@bbc.co.uk
