John says: Recently a correspondent begged us to stop playing records by Scandinavian groups. "They are," he insisted, "unfailingly frightful." Despite this plea, tonight's programme features records from Sweden. Finland and, if I can find any in time. Denmark and Norway.

Sweden's TT Reuter and Garbochock and Finland's Ebba Gron prove that European new-wavers are not merely imitative of British bands.'
