Synopsis

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. This week the A-Z of the Beatles reaches 'When I'm 64'. 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. Featuring songs from Marsha Hunt, Vince Hill, Georgie Fame, The Brook Brothers, Cliff, Freddie Starr, Connie Francis, Johnny Horton and a three-in-a-row from Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.

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.
