The Sound of Style: 1973-1980

Steve Lamacq continues to celebrate the Sound of Style season by looking at fashion and music in the 1970s. Plus Spring King join him as his New Favourite Band.

We celebrate the launch of The Sound of Style season, a collaboration between ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Four and 6 Music looking at the love affair and inextricably linked relationship between fashion and music since the 1960s.

Episode two of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, airs tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Stuart Maconie has sound-tracked episode two, which looks at the 1970s. Across the day, 6 Music shows will be styling their music and chat around the 70s, playing the tracks Stuart selected - plus other gems from that decade - and hearing from Stuart about his music choices.

On each Wednesday the series airs, 6 Music will be playing music across the shows reflecting the years covered in that evening's programme, so today will be styling their music and chat around the 1970s.

Plus, Steve has his New Favourite Band in, Spring King.
