New York features in our 'mystery year' and Bryan Adams is among the 'fab 5'

Join Nick for Monday`s late night music, chat and entertainment.

Our 'mystery year' tonight is 1977. This was the year that Freddie Laker`s sky train flew from London, to which American city for the first time?

Answer: New York.

Have a listen to Roller Robbie`s mystery sound clue, can you work out what he is up to?

Tonight`s 'tenuous tunes' are songs to do with 'cartoon characters' linked to on this day in 1984 when Charles M Schultz received a commission to publish his new cartoon strip 'Peanuts' starring Charlie Brown, Snoopy and friends, in the Daily Times in Portsmouth, Ohio.
