The idea is not to just play records released in a particular year but more about recreating the buzz that was around at the time, including tracks released on record in previous years but still very relevant as well as those not yet on record but a staple part of an artist's live show, b-sides & album tracks or sessions recorded for radio broadcast such as on John Peel's show.
Either way, every track I play at these anniversary events were heard in the year we celebrate and no doubt in someone's list of favourite tracks of that year.
1975 was probably the first year that saw the artists of yesteryear start to get pushed out to make way for a revolution in music and youth culture, yes it was 50 years since we the the emergence of Punk!
Not only will you hear the tracks that bands were playing live around the world, most notably London & New York, I will also be playing some of the songs from the 50s & 60s that inspired the bands and went on to be covered by, Punk, New Wave & Alternative artists.
