BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker, David Vanian

Johnnie hears 70s memories from David Vanian of the Damned.

Johnnie Walker is joined live in the studio by David Vanian from The Damned.

The group formed in 1976 and with the release of their single "New Rose" became the first punk band in the UK. Signed to Stiff Records, they went on to have nine singles in the UK Top 40 and are commonly grouped with The Sex Pistols and The Clash as the best showcase of British punk.

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.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
