Glam and Punk with Viv Albertine

Mary Anne Hobbs asks Viv Albertine to enlighten her in a 3 Minute Epiphany, asking 'what is punk?' Plus Glam! exhibition curator Darren Pih explores the glam movement.

Ahead of Bowie Week on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 6 Music, Mary Anne Hobbs goes on a mini genre excavation in a double 3 Minute Epiphany.

To Mary Anne Hobbs, David Bowie is the original punk so Viv Albertine answers the burning question: 'What is Punk?'

GLAM! Exhibition curator Darren Pih also answers: 'What is Glam?' Darren not only explores Bowie's influence on Glam, but discusses the artistry, meaning and growth of the UK's most glittery cultural awakening.

And don't worry, you will find a huge dollop of perfect Sunday music for your very own awakening, oozing with live gems from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive, new bands and classic tracks.
