The Beatles
6 Music Xmas special!
News just in: there’s a two hour Hail! Hail! Rock’n’Roll radio programme going out on BBC 6 Music on Boxing Day, featuring loads of our favourite rock ephemera and nonsense and narration/presentation from JH. Confirmation is here, along with a picture of a headless fella playing a guitar. We just say TUNE IN. Please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah?
