Gary鈥檚 just released his new album Insolo, co-hosts a fantastic podcast called Rockonteurs with fellow musician Guy Pratt, and is gearing up to get back on the road with Pink Floyd鈥檚 Nick Mason and their Saucer Full Of Secrets project, so there鈥檚 plenty to talk about. During his teenage years growing up in North London, he saw just about every great band and artist perform live, and lovingly cherished all of their records. Gary will be choosing four songs that mean a lot of him, and chatting about his formative years, with a few surprise curveball choices along the way.
Another glaring omission from 鈥楯ohnnie鈥檚 Jukebox鈥 is rectified, and we celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary with the nomination for its inclusion.
You鈥檒l go bananas with the bizarre 1978 hit that鈥檚 been chosen for our 鈥極ne Of A Kind鈥 slot.
鈥楾his Week In Music鈥 features a great U.S. rock band who signed their first major record deal in 1972, some homegrown rock legends who played their biggest-ever U.K. show at Knebworth in 1979, and a very famous charity concert in New York in 1971.
Also it鈥檚 Radio 2鈥檚 鈥楤ig Bee Challenge鈥 this weekend, so expect a few 鈥榖ee鈥-themed tunes and bands in the show this week, and you can get involved in the project by visiting bbc.co.uk/bigbeechallenge
