BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker, Ralph McTell

Johnnie hears 70s memories from singer-songwriter Ralph McTell.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by singer songwriter Ralph McTell.

Best known for his hit song "Streets of London", Ralph spent the decade recording music with the likes of Lindisfarne's Rod Clements, Fairport Convention's Dave Pegg and Maddy Prior from Steeleye Span as well as working with producers like Toni Visconti. He also performed at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 alongside Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez while selling out shows at the Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House. He shares his memories of the decade with Johnnie.

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.
