My 70s

Do you remember the music of the 1970s?  or have you only heard it as re-makes and retro?

I was at school during the 70s and my musical tastes changed a lot over the decade – but then so did the music making it into the charts.  On sunday afternoon BBC Radio 2 has programme dedicated to music from the 1970s and a feature where a listener talks about their memories of the decade and picks some music to play. 

Yesterday I was the listener talking about My 70s.  You can listen on BBC iplayer until next Sunday – my bit starts at 27 minutes and lasts about 5 mins, so you don’t have to listen to the whole programme.  And for those of you who cannot access BBC IPlayer this is the track I chose as my favourite.

And this is me during the 1970s – with my sister, my dog and a friend’s toddler

Love the photos Helena, I can't get the radio show to work at the moment but I will try again later. Love you choice of track, I've not heard that for years.

wow I know someone famous from the radio!! You have a really lovely voice! I cannot remember some of the music you mention although I was alive throughout the 70's, loved the range Hill theme tune, I do remember the Bay City Rollers and I also really liked Elvis Costello. I thinkmy music of the 70's would be summed up by saying the Osmonds and David Cassidy!!!

This is great! Wow what memories. I got into the punk phase too. Did you listen to John Peel on the radio in the evening. Now that is going back.
Thanks for stopping by Lorraine BFS
