Ready Steady Go! - the Weekend Starts Here

on BBC Radio 2

Sandie Shaw recalls ITV's music-and-lifestyle show Ready Steady Go!, which from 1963 to 1966 captured the mood of a mod youth culture strictly defined and packaged according to its music, fashion, attitude and dance. The series aired live on Friday evenings, and showcased new and hip acts from both here and abroad.

Expect to hear nostalgic input from executive producer Elkan Allan, presenter Keith Fordyce and designer Nicholas Ferguson. Plus Cilla Black, Madeline Bell, Eric Burdon, Paul Jones (of Manfred Mann), Frank Allen (of the Searchers) and choreographers Patrick and Theresa Kerr.
