Russell Davies charts the musical family tree of the legendary Mott the Hoople front man from his time in a prize-winning skiffle band to being given All The Young Dudes by David Bowie - a song that saved the band from splitting up. Ian talks about how early life in a factory prepared him for the rock'n'roll life of hard knocks and how Barry Manilow of all people came to cover one of his songs.
