The Soundz of the 70s

Well another fantastic show today with The Soundz of the 70's. In todays show we took a look back at 1978 and looked at what was happening on TV , The Cinema  , Toys and the pop chart of Novemebr 1978. 

Starting today we have a new  feature on the show where i nominate an Artist or Band to as the  The featured artist / band of the day and today our featured band was Abba. I managed to get my hands on some Abba live in concert footage which was recorded at Wembley in 1979 and featured many unheard Abba songs performed live in concert, We also played both Abba's hit singles and album tracks.

Dizzy's double decker today featured two songs back to back from Blondie. 

Tune in next Monday as we play hits and make memories with the Soundz of the 70's
