Johnnie meets the Scottish singer-songwriter Al Stewart, a key figure in the history of British music.

Johnnie Walker celebrates the decade of The Sting, The Godfather Part II and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
This week he's joined in conversation by Al Stewart, best known for his 1976 hit single Year Of The Cat. Taken from the album of the same name, it was followed in 1978 by the platinum selling Time Passages which gave him worldwide success and critical acclaim. Stewart also appeared at the very first Glastonbury Festival in 1970, and shared an apartment in London with Paul Simon in the mid sixties.
Also on the show, a moment from the decade will be celebrated courtesy of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive and another classic single will be loaded into Johnnie's Jukebox.
