Cerys celebrates David Bowie's 65th birthday with some vintage BBC session tracks which were recorded for John Peel at Kensington House on New Year's Day 1972.

Author Peter Doggett will be a guest on the show to talk about his recent book, The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie And The 1970s. It explores the rich heritage of the artist's most productive decade, and traces the way in which his music reflected and influenced the world around him.
