Brian Matthew with more songs, facts and figures from the 1960s - plus a sprinkle of festive cheer!

Brenda Lee is getting a double spin on the show, with her 1962 festive hit 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree'. The song was originally released in 1958 & 1959 to muted praise, the B side of which was Lee's track 'Papa Noel' - which will also be getting some air time.
Brian will be honouring listener requests for Tommy Quickly & The Remo Four, Billy Fury, The Crystals, Glenda Collins, The Rolling Stones, Bobby Darin, Bob Dylan, The Shadows.
