Shaun sits in and brings along with him a previously unheard chat with the late Neil Sedaka and 10cc's Graham Gouldman, recorded in 2017. Graham and Neil met in the early 1970s in New York and that meeting led to Neil crossing the Atlantic to record at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, with Graham, Lol Creme and Kevin Godley. Neil recorded his 'Solitaire' album there and that project was pivotal in the career of 10cc. He'll also take a closer look at 2026 being the 50th anniversary of punk, with gigs coming up this year from the likes of The Damned and the remaining Sex Pistols. Also on the show, more tracks from the 'Rock Date Diary' plus Shaun's got his own 70s Country Classic pick. Produced by Listen for BBC Radio 2.
