Englishman KENNEY JONES has spent the best part of five decades at the heart of the rock music industry. As drummer with the Small Faces, Faces and The Who, he has been involved in three of the biggest bands the music business has ever known. From the moment he started drumming in the front room of his parents home, Kenney became hooked on music. He shot to fame with the Small Faces in 1965 and had his first hit single when he was just 17. The band were at the heart of the Mod revolution that swept

His dad was known as 'The Father of Rock and Roll' but he was, unfortunately, no father to his own son. BILL HALEY JR has a new book out about his legendary dad and tells us that all Bill Haley wanted to do was get kids up and dancing again. Join me to hear that despite Bill Haley being way ahead of his time, playing ‘race music’ with a ‘hillbilly touch’ he enjoyed success for only a few short years before Elvis 'pipped him at the post', sending him spiralling into depression until his life was

Hi my friends, Hope you’re having a good one. STEPPENWOLF have always been one of my very favourite bands so nailing JOHN KAY for an interview was something of a coup. He speaks to the media very rarely these days and when he does, it’s usually about his charitable foundation -https://mauekay.org/ After months of hounding him, the founder and lead singer of the 60's Canadian American rock band, finally agreed to chat with me. He delves deep into his past with personal stories about his treacherous

A Breath of Fresh Air loves the music and the musicians of the 60's 70's and 80's. And, if you’re a fan of 80’s music, you’re likely a huge fan of English new wave band, SPANDAU BALLET. The group was inspired by London’s post-punk underground dance scene and became one of the most successful groups of the New Romantic era. We meet lead singer TONY HADLEY who tells us all about his time with the band, why he left it and we check in with some of his latest music that he's taking on tour. My next guest

DIRE STRAITS filled giant stadiums around the world and sold hundreds of millions of records. Throughout the eighties they were one of the biggest bands on the planet. Their classic songs - 'Sultans of Swing', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Money for Nothing', 'Brothers In Arms' - formed the soundtrack of a generation and live on today: still racking up sales, still being played on the radio on every continent.

Welshman, VERDEN ALLEN founded the British hard rock band, MOTT THE HOOPLE in the early 70's. The band was a mix of glam, metal and attitude that was bolstered by Ian Hunter's clever and thoughtful songwriting. Mott The Hoople had a tough, muscular sound but their lack of mainstream success meant its members inevitably splintered apart. Most famous for a song given to them by David Bowie, this week Verden recounts those early days and previews his latest solo album. The 1910 FRUIT GUM COMPANY has

Well, this week, founding member Patrick Lloyd joins me to tell us what it was like being one of the world's first multi-racial groups, how difficult it was for EDDY GRANT to recover from injuries sustained in a car accident and what the band is up to today.

He was a founding member of Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and Stephen Stills and then formed Poco with Jim Messina. Today, Richie Furay runs solo and has just released a terrific new album of his favourite tunes, called 'In the Country'.

I caught up with Samantha to discover a young woman hell bent on making the best music she can, and she's not fussed if that pursuit costs her the opportunity to become a mother. He's responsible for one of the best one-hit-wonders of all time but he is so much more than that. PAUL ROBERTS founded the band SNIFF AND THE TEARS in the early
