Synopsis

Mark Lamarr expands your musical knowledge with his eclectic taste in music. In session at Maida Vale this week we are turning back the decades to the 1950s with Rusti Steel and The Star Tones. They'll be dazzling the airwaves with a bit of Rockabilly, Rock'n'Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Hillbilly Bop and some Western Swing.
