Event Description
In February 1957 the BBC first broadcast its pioneering pop music show The Six Five Special. This kicked off a trend for such shows which has lasted till the present day. Join David Turnbull on a journey from The Six-Five Special in the 1950s to The Tube in the 1980s via Ready Steady Go, Top of the Pops, The Old Grey Whistle Test, Supersonic and more. Relive those oldies but goodies with the stories of the shows and pop songs that defined their eras.
- Duration: 60 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
