#NEWS: ‘Back To The 80s’…the how, what, where, when…1984

Tomorrow night’s show will take us ‘Back To The 80s’ and the year 1984. A year which saw us glued to the television watching shows like Magnum PI, Hill Street Blues, Cheers, Fame, Dynasty, The ‘A’ Team, Miami Vice and perhaps most importantly, MTV!

Yes, the TV was the star, but we did enjoy some of the best Rock Music produced in the 80s too. And that’s what this ‘Special’ is all about.

Part 5 (of 10) in our series of shows, we’ll be hearing tunes from Queen, Kiss, Foreigner, Bryan Adams, REO Speedwagon, Scorpions, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Survivor, Steve Perry, Guiffria, Q5, Y&T, Bon Jovi, Whistenake, Bruce Springsteen, Deep Purple and Van Halen, to name but a few of what’s on the playlist.

NEWS: 1983 revisited with ‘Back To The 80s’ Part 4

This week’s show takes you on another trip down memory lane, back to the year 1983, with Part 4 of a series of shows celebrating Rock Music through the 80s, year-by-year. “Oh yeah….looking through those rose-tinted spectacles again, are we?”, but those of us fortunate enough to have lived through the early 80s can be forgiven for thinking it was an era where rock music, not for the first time, took on an energy all of its own, providing some notable highlights and in some case, breaking new ground.

Just look at a few of the bands we’ve lined up for you to rock out to in the first hour of the show! Motley Crue, Dio, Y&T, Quiet Riot, Yes, Genesis, Alcatrazz, Thin Lizzy and Gary Moore.

And if that’s not enough, we’ll be hearing from the likes of Queensrÿche, Metallica, Kiss, Molly Hatchet, Hanoi Rocks, Magnum, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Rainbow, Journey, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Hawkwind, Marillion, Status Quo, Accept, Dokken, Ozzy Osbourne, Slade, Def Leppard and ZZ Top.

Three hours of great music, anecdotes and news headlines from the year 1983 – 7pm Thursday, 12th February.
