This summer special episode presents a relaxed platform for songwriter, author and art curator Tot Taylor and art lawyer Henry Lydiate to share memories of the 1970s when their paths met in the rock music world.  We hear about life in Cambridge and London and how self-identity was developed and culture was accessed without the internet.
