Favourite tracks and a few surprises from the 1960s, 70s & 80s.

Favourite tracks and a few surprises from the sixties, seventies and eighties.

We remember significant anniversaries for The Tremeloes, Dire Straits and Kim Carnes, plus celebrate musical birthdays for mononymous artists Yazz, Enya and Toyah, a New Kid on the Block, Hazel O'Conner, Albert Hammond... and the big 6-0 for Curiosity Killed The Cat's frontman.
