Johnnie hears 70s memories from Mike McCartney aka Mike McGear and marks the passing of Glenn Frey from Eagles.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by Mike McCartney.

Mike started his career in the 1960s as a member of the comedy music group The Scaffold. The seventies also saw him release solo work and helped form GRIMMS, another comedy group in Liverpool made up of members of The Scaffold, the Bonzo Dog Band and Liverpool Scene. He shares his memories and picks some of his favourite songs from the decade.

Also on the show, Johnnie marks the sad passing of Glenn Frey from the Eagles, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
