Roy Orbison is in the 'fab 5' and we relive 1969 in the 'mystery year'

Wednesday sees the return of Nick Risby and a great selection of music and entertainment.

In the 'mystery year' we return to the swinging 60s, namely 1969. In this year Lulu married one of the Bee Gees, but which one?

Our TV theme tune was from Hogan's Heroes.

Roller Robbies's music box tonight is not played on an instrument but sung by Donald Duck. Can you work out what tune it is?

Our 'tenuous tunes' tonight will grow on you as we play songs to do with 'things that grow' - linked to on this day in 1689 when a beard tax was introduced in Russia. The longer the beard, the higher the tax.
