Johnnie’s here for your Bank Holiday with more great memories of this brilliant decade.

And Stranglers bass player JJ Burnel is calling the show direct from the south of France.

As one of the original surviving members of this iconic band, he’s now gearing up for the upcoming release of new studio album Dark Matters this Autumn, and tour dates around the country to promote it. He’ll be discussing his formative years and the artists that he worked with during the Seventies, telling us which impressed him the most, and choosing a couple of curveball songs that he loves.

Also on the show, we’ll hear a superstar going very ‘off piste’ from their usual recorded output for this week’s One Of A Kind selection.

Johnnie’s Jukebox welcomes a 1978 Top 10 hit from a Welsh singer with a very distinctive voice.

There are more famous birthdays and quirky moments to celebrate in our look through This Week In Music.

Plus two more exhilarating live performances will round things off in style for our In Concert feature.
