The Glory Of Glam with Gary Kemp

PLEASE NOTE: The BBC changed the schedule and we are currently waiting a new broadcast date.

The Glory Of Glam - Presented by Gary Kemp

Another chance to hear Gary tell the story of glam.

Gary considers how the flamboyant style of artists such as Marc Bolan, David Bowie and Roxy Music influenced later generations of bands - not least his own Spandau Ballet. Glam was glorious, brought on by rock's self-indulgent pretensions in 1970. When psychedelia and prog rock were at their peak, glam brought a satin and sequin-fuelled return to the basics of rock 'n' roll and created the biggest, brightest, shiniest beast the music business had seen.
