Johnnie hears 70s memories from Jethro Tull's Martin Barre.

Martin Barre, best known for his work with progressive rock group Jethro Tull, shares his memories of the decade.

Martin joined Jethro Tull just in time to feature on their second album in 1969 and has been on every album since. The seventies saw the group enjoy chart success with albums like "Aqualung" and "Thick As A Brick" after playing at the famous Isle of Wight Festival of 1970. Martin remembers this time and picks some of his favourite tracks from the decade.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
