Brian Matthew, the voice of sixties popular music, presents the programme for all fans of the decade. With facts, figures and trivia as well as the Chronicles of the Sixties.

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. This week tracks from the Magic Lanterns, James Darren, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ricky Vallance, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, and a first play on SOTS for the Liberty Bell. And was it Dionne Warwick or Dionne Warrick? The Sixties Chronicles digs into the archives for the events of this coming week during the 1960's, with honourable mentions for The Rag Trade ('Everybody out!'), It's A Square World and Whacko! In this week the Post Office Tower opened, London Bridge was up for sale - or was it Tower Bridge? And watchout - the breathalyser was about! By the way who played the part of Bongo Herbert?
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 music.
