The Style Council

**The Style Council** were a British group formed in 1983 by Paul Weller (formerly of The Jam) and Mick Talbot (formerly of Dexy's Midnight Runners and Merton Parkas). The formation of the group allowed Weller to continue to develop the soul-influenced sound which he had begun exploring with The Jam. The Style Council's sound also took in aspects of funk and the pop ballad, augmented by contributions by vocalist D.C. Lee and drummer Steve White.

The group enjoyed a string of hits in the UK throughout the 80s, as well as six Top 20 albums, and achieved widespread success in Europe.

Both Weller and Talbot were involved in Band Aid and were the second group to appear at Live Aid.

Smash Hits

**Smash Hits** was a UK-based pop music magazine published from 1978 to 2006.

Initially a monthly, publishing lyrics to chart hits as well as features, interviews, singles and albums reviews, colour centrespread and full page posters, it soon became a fortnightly publication, appearing on Thursdays. The magazine featured an eclectic mix of pop, rock, new-wave, disco and even punk music in order to cater for all tastes in a time of rapidly changing musical styles.

First appearing in October 1978, *Smash Hits* was at its peak during much of the 1980s, always managing to move with the times and trends, despite competition in an evolving media market. Sales declined in the 1990s although the magazine still lasted until February 2006 when the final edition was published, 28 years after its debut.

Famous contributors in its early years include David Hepworth, Mark Ellen, both of whom became regular broadcasters and writers, and Neil Tennant who went on to form the Pet Shop Boys.

Days in the Life - Pink Floyd at 40

**Days in the Life - Pink Floyd at 40**

Radio 2 celebrates the experimental and influential British band. The four members of the classic Floyd line-up - David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and the late Rick Wright, in his last ever radio interview - tell their own story from pre-Floyd days in the early 60s, right up to Nick & David's live appearance with Roger earlier this summer.

That story goes from their beginnings as The T-Set, a Cambridge-based blues band. They discuss their ground-breaking music, its equally innovative staging and packaging, the internal struggles that caused Roger Waters to leave the band in the mid-80s, and their subsequent resurgence with the biggest tour in rock music history.

This documentary was first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2007 to coincide with the band's 40th anniversary. It is presented by Janice Long.

Crash FM

**Crash FM** - commercial radio station for the Liverpool area founded by Janice Long and Bernie Connor and initially launched for a one-month trial period in November 1995. The station eventually began officially in March 1998 on 107.6 FM.

Crash was bought out by Forever Broadcasting in late 1999 and relaunched as Juice 107.6 on 26 March 2000. The Juice FM brand was phased out in January 2016, with the station entering a transition period ahead of the full relaunch as Capital Liverpool.

Howard Jones

**Howard Jones** (b. 23 February 1955) is a British singer and songwriter best known for his early hits in the eighties, namely New Song, What Is Love and No-One Is To Blame. He scored ten Top 40 hits in the UK between 1983 and 1986 and nine hits in the US Hot 100 between 1984 and 1992. His debut album *Human's Lib* also went to no. 1 in the UK.

He performed at the Live Aid concert in Wembley in 1985 although was not part of the original Band Aid.

## Links to Janice

In his Fan Club Newsletter *Risk 4*, a report on Jones' concert at The Marquee, London on 18 August 1983 stated: "*Despite the quality of the performance being well below Howard's normal standard, everyone went bananas including Radio One's Janice Long, who was seeing Howard for the first time.*"[1] (Janice was in fact in London, standing-in for Peter Powell that week).

Janice would have been a keen listener and promoter of Jones' music in the 1980s as their respective careers grew. He was invited for two sessions, the second one in 1987 when Jones' commercial success was already on the wane.

She does not seem to have selected many of his records for her shows in more recent times, however.

Top of the Pops - The Story of 1983

**Top Of The Pops - The Story Of 1983** was a BBC documentary first broadcast on BBC Four on 06 January 2017. The programme was the latest in a series of *Top of the Pops* documentaries which precede repeat showings of most of the shows of a particular year, using archive clips and recent interviews with some of the protagonists of the shows.

Among the interviewees are Marilyn, Nick Beggs of Kajagoogoo, Paul Gambaccini, Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins, Martyn Ware of Heaven 17, Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet, David Jensen. Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New Order, Mike Joyce of The Smiths and members of The Flying Pickets.

## Links to Janice

Janice appears fairly early in the programme as she was the first female presenter of the show since it began in 1964. She was indeed making her debut, after a couple of introductory appearances at the end of 1982, just as she was also beginning with her regular Saturday evening show on BBC Radio 1.

Janice recalls how "thrilled" she was to be introducing U2 on her first Top of the Pops. She also mentions Echo and the Bunnymen and how when she arrived home after the first show here Mum phoned to say, "*That Echo & the Bunnymen fella .. I hope you're not hanging around with him he's on drugs or drink!*".

Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

**Oasis** were a British rock group, formed in the early 1990s and spearhead of the Brit-pop movement which emerged during the decade. The groups members comprised siblings Noel and Liam Gallagher who became notorious for their rivalry, while both in the band, and allegedly sometimes violent behaviour towards each other. Their failure to agree eventually led to the demise of Oasis after the release of their final album *Dig Out Your Soul* in 2008.

Word Podcast 167: Top of the Pops Special

**Release date**: 08 April 2011

**Source**: acast.com

## Programme notes

* *Janice Long, Jude Rogers and Andrew Harrison convene in the pod to discuss Top Of The Pops, that Michael Jackson statue, and the t-shirts of rock*.
* The podcast is hosted by Harrison with Janice and Welsh journalist, blogger and broadcaster Rodgers as guests.
* Subjects covered:
	+ Top of the Pops - BBC Four has just begun its regular weekly re-runs of archive editions, starting from 1976 (direct reference is made to the 08/04/1976 show, presented by Noel Edmonds). Janice recalls her time as a TOTP presenter in the 1980s. She also mentions that she 'missed' 1976 in the UK as she was working at a Wimpy Bar in Amsterdam. When guests discuss a possible return of the show, Janice mentions that her daughter Blue is 14 (and probably wouldn't watch it).
	+ Rock star statues - a controversial statue of Michael Jackson has just been unveiled outside Craven Cottage football ground in Fulham, London,[1] and guests offer their views on this and 'rock star statues' in general. Janice mentions the 'twin' statues of Ken Dodd and Bessie Braddock [2], and the Eleanor Rigby statue[3] in Liverpool.
	+ Band T-shirts - Rodgers has just launched a blog on band T-shirts. Janice mentions she has received many over the years although in particular mentions a The Cult T-shirt and also a 'baby' size James one which fitted her son Fred.
	+ Weddings - Rogers is about to be married, on the same day as the 'Royal Wedding' of Prince William and Kate Middleton (29 April 2011).
	+ Guy Garvey - a listener has written in to enquire why women fin Guy Garvey so attractive. Janice mentions she knew him when he was working as a bar tender, when he would offer her free beers. She also mentions he gives good 'bear hugs'.

A Day in the Life of the Radio One Roadshow

**A Day in the Life of the Radio One Roadshow** was the title of a three-page colour feature in *Smash Hits*, issue dtd. 14-27 August 1985 (pp.45-47) documenting the final day (and previous afternoon/evening) of the Radio 1 Roadshow, broadcast from Porthcawl, Wales on 26 July 1985.

The report was by Peter Martin (writer) and Paul Rider (photographer).

## Main points

From the article we learn:

* Janice isn't going out with "Peter" anymore.
* She does a short DJ stint at a local disco the night before the show (after the barbecue and drinks). The crew have also watched a video of Live Aid.
* At breakfast she meets Gene Loves Jezebel, who are also to be featured on the show. The group hail from Porthcawl.
* In a warm up just before the live show Janice chooses three couples to play a game in which they have to swap clothes.
* Janice does interviews with random audience members. One is a gravedigger.
* Janice: "*It's a week I certainly won't forget. Wales is a fantastic place, the people are smashing, the beaches are great, it's just great*".
* She signs *a lot* of autographs.
* Janice will be on holiday in S. Lucia "in 52 hours" (after the show).
