I’ve been watching some of the old performances on YouTube. What a terrific show that was. Some great bands and performances over the years.

"Didnt whispering Bob Harris get caught up peado charges, but it all turned out to be false or was the hairy cornflake instead? Great show though, still remember Dr Feelgood on the show original line up, awesome set by them with Wilko especially and that unique style he had."

"Good stuff Zeb. Yes Martin, one of many great versions. Did you ever hear Danny Bakers tribute to JM on the day he died, it was on his old BBC London show, 2 great hours of broadcasting."
