Sounds of the 60s - 20/02/2010

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. The A-Z of the Beatles reaches 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' as George describes how he wrote it. The One Before The Hit features Manfred Mann and Three-In-A-Row plays three acts who had just two hits. The EP comes from The Mojos but who released a record in 1962 titled 'Jumble Sale'? Including discs from Brenton Wood, Kenny Lynch Fairport Convention (Si Tu Dois Partir - still not readily available on CD), and actor Anthony Quinn who did make records! With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. Sounds Of The Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of sixties pop shows.
