Marty will be sharing many of his unique anecdotes alongside favourite artists from the decade that first made him a star.

Marty Wilde was a Rock鈥檔鈥橰oll pioneer in the late 50s as part of the very first generation of Pop Stars.
He was discovered by impresario Larry Parnes at London鈥檚 Condor Club in 1957, when he was just 17.
Between 1958 and 1962 Marty had 13 consecutive hit records including Endless Sleep, Donna, Teenager in Love, Sea Of Love and Bad Boy. He appeared on the ground breaking 50s TV shows Oh Boy, Boy Meets Girl and Six Five Special and shared his passion for music with contemporaries including Billy Fury, Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard.
Marty went on to give Justin Hayward his first break in The Wilde Three, wrote for Lulu, The Casuals, Status Quo and with his daughter Kim, who sold millions of records in the 1980s.
Marty is thrilled to be presenting his own show on Radio 2 50s and will be sharing many of his unique anecdotes alongside favourite artists from the decade that first made him a star.
