It’s your essential weekly playlist, jam-packed with the best of the decade.

Johnnie’s here to guide you though it all, so get ready to rock down during lockdown.

Music legend Rick Wakeman will be on the phone to tell us how he’s coping with life as a self-confessed grumpy old man during these weird times, and how he’s helped put together ‘70s Rock Down’, an amazing new compilation album that features many of the anthems and classics that you regularly hear on this very show.

Johnnie Jukebox’s selection comes from 1979 with memories of school discos during the Mod Revival, as suggested by Paul Winstanley in Hampshire.

Our look at This Week In Music shines the spotlight on a remarkable lady who turns 81 this week, a U.S. no.1 smash for a former Beatle in 1973, and a trio who’d later conquer the world but were experiencing rather more humble beginnings in 1978, embarking on a Winter tour of the U.K. to promote their recently released debut album.

All that plus more of your excellent song requests, stories, memories and dedications.

Get in touch with the show anytime for our upcoming programmes, including our big Christmas special: walker@bbc.co.uk
