The People's History of Pop

BBC Radio Leeds celebrates the People's History of Pop in West Yorkshire. Johnny I'anson presents listeners' memories of the music they grew up with and the bands they went to see.

Stories include:
* The last ever UK Sex Pistols gig in Huddersfield
* The day The Who were MEANT to play a gig at Leeds Uni but didn’t because Pete Townsend ran out of petrol
* In May 1982 Queen played Elland road to a packed stadium. Steve took his (now) wife and still has the ticket stubs
* How a David Bowie gig inspired one woman to become a musician
* In the 70’s Dave Johnson had the offer to move to London and “make it” with his mate Mark, he dismissed the idea as folly and stayed in Leeds. His friend's full name was Mark Knopfler... hindsight’s a wonderful thing.
* The tour bus driver who used to play football with Robbie Williams and took Prince on his European Tour.
* The Huddersfield woman who’s life was changed by The Smiths.
* The stage manager who once took Chuck Berry for a curry in Bradford.
