Saint Etienne co-founder/musician and author Bob Stanley is Shaun's 'My 70s' guest.

It's safe to say Bob Stanley will have a few tales to tell for his 'My 70s' with Shaun. He and childhood friend Pete Wiggs co-founded the band Saint Etienne in the late 1980s, and the musician, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer went on to have decades of success. But Bob's talents don't stop there, he's also got a parallel career as an author and music journalist, working for the likes of the NME, The Guardian and The Times, and he also finds time to hone his skills as a DJ. He's written several books and his latest, 'The Shadows - The Definitive Story' has just been published, complete with a foreword from the one and only Cliff Richard.

Also on the show - plenty of classic tracks from the decade, plus another listener-suggested Classic 70s album and more from 'This Week In Music'.

Produced by Listen for BBC Radio 2.
