This show will be nostalgia heaven for anyone who loves rocks music of the early 1970s. Joe remembers the first time he saw Marc Bolan on Top of the Pops, begin clattered in a schoolyard by Slade fans because he liked "poofs" - no offence meant, his word, not mine, and Joe says that's the word used in the schoolyard back in those unenlightened days! - such as Bowie, and the great influences Thin Lizzy had on the sound of Def Leppard.
