1/4. Steve Lamacq recalls the mid-90s phenomenon labelled Britpop - a vital and creative burst of music and lifestyle that coincided with the arrival of New
Labour and followed several years of tired and uninspired popular culture. Arousing the airwaves under the packaged banner of "Cool Britannia" were Oasis, Blur, Pulp and others - championed by a new breed of Radio 1 DJs (Stuart Maconie, Jo Whiley, Steve Lamacq et al). The series charts the ups and downs of the three-year wave.
