Brian Matthew, the voice of Sixties popular music, presents a special Sounds of the Sixties with a sprinkling of seasonal tracks, facts and trivia. Plus Chronicles of the Sixties.

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. This week, there's a sprinkling of seasonal tracks, as well as music from Darlene Love, The Merseys, Mary Hopkin, Bob Dylan, The Pretty Things, Marty Wilde, Mary Hopkin, The Viscounts and Frankie Vaughan.

The EP Collection features Eddie Cochran; Three-in-a-Row plays three rarely heard 60s Christmas tracks, chosen by Paul Johnston; and find out who sang the theme tune to Fireball XL5.

The Chronicles looks at Telstar finally gaining a British number one in the USA, Sir Jack Hobbs, a new 70mph speed limit, Z-Cars on TV, the release of The Graduate, the launch of Apollo 8 and Bruce Forsyth before Strictly!

Sounds of the Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of Sixties shows.
