BBC Radio 6 Music - Radcliffe and Maconie, Sid Griffin on The Action

Stuart talks to music expert Sid Griffin about 60s mod band The Action

Stuart presents solo and is joined by music expert Sid Griffin to discuss the 1960's mod band The Action. The group, formed in London in 1963, were produced by famed Beatles-producer George Martin and had many fans (including Paul Weller) but failed to hit the big time. Sid and Stuart look back over the band's career, music and influence and ask what happened.
