BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker, Steve Diggle

Johnnie hears 70s memories from Steve Diggle of punk band the Buzzcocks.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by Steve Diggle from Buzzcocks.

After meeting Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto at a Sex Pistols gig in Manchester, the seventies saw Steve become a part of the punk group, the Buzzcocks. The group had chart success in the decade with songs like "Promises", "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" and "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)". He speaks to Johnnie about his memories of the decade and picks some of his favourite songs.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the BBC archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
