The First Time With Yoko Ono

As part of BBC Music’s year-long My Generation season and 6 Music celebrates… Psychedelia, Matt Everitt presents The First Time With Yoko Ono.

In this show, Yoko talks about the first time she became aware of music and other key moments in her life and career, most notably when she first met John Lennon. Already an established avant-garde artist, she had a profound effect on John Lennon's experimental and psychedelic work throughout the late '60s - both in The Beatles and later in collaboration with Yoko in the Plastic Ono Band.

BBC Music’s My Generation is a year-long landmark season of programming across BBC TV, Radio and Online charting the history of pop music across the decades, from the mid-1950s to mid-1990s through the memories of the people who were there. The season launched in April with a look at the decade of music from the 1950s. This second phase looks at the 1960s. Also part of the season, the documentary series People’s History of Pop, appeals to fans around the UK to upload their most cherished music memorabilia. More details here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes.
