Concert goers have lots to choose from in the coming months and two of the most anticipated tours are my guests in this episode. JJ Burnel, an original member of The Stranglers, shares stories from the punk days of pub gigs and punch ups through to the success of Golden Brown and Skin Deep and now as older statesmen of the UK bands from that era. Their 50th anniversary tour is about to hit Australia.
Roachford's journey is very different from The Stranglers but on the eve of his first Aussie tour in decades, Andrew Roachford talks about the success of Lay your Love on Me, Only to be with You, his work with Mike Rutherford in Mike and The Mechanics and meeting his musical idol Stevie Wonder.

- Wednesday, March 19: Enmore Theatre, Sydney
- Thursday, March 20: The Tivoli, Brisbane
