Two hours of the finest music from an amazing decade, all expertly curated by Johnnie.

We spotlight Al Stewart's superb album Year Of The Cat, ahead of its 45th anniversary.

The man himself will be on the phone direct from his home in Los Angeles with some great stories about the writing and recording process, plus we'll play three of the best songs from that excellent 1976 collection, which is soon to be reissued in a new deluxe remastered package.

Art Garfunkel, Steve Harley, Blondie and The Average White Band all feature in our look at stories from This Week In Music.

Joyce Baker in Stenhousemiur has spotted an unforgivable oversight on the list of songs that have been added to Johnnie's Jukebox so far, so we'll be correcting that glaring omission by adding the debut solo hit from one of Britain's most distinctive singers.

There are lots of your brilliant stories, memories, song requests and dedications throughout the show.
