The Dubliners

Not so much a folk group - more a 'happening'. The Dubliners offer a selection which includes Shoals of Herring and Whiskey in the Jar.

John Denver

with Richard Kniss (bass), Mike Taylor (guitar). John Denver, who got his big break when he replaced the leader of the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1965, sings the songs he's written and made famous as a solo artist - including 'Leaving on a jet plane' and last year's American No 1, 'Country Roads.'

Bonnie Koloc

Some folk, blues and jazz from the American singer/composer with songs such as 'Black Water' and 'Hey Jude.'

The Mahavishnu Orchestra

30 min

Plainsong

Ian Matthews, ex-Fairport Convention and Southern Comfort, leads the soft-rock group through their Amelia Earhart saga and rarely heard songs by Paul Siebel, Nils Lofgren.

John Prine

In his short career, Prine has impressed as a song-writer of great potential. His work has been recorded by the likes of Carly Simon, Roberta Flack and Kris Kristofferson - who helped his early career - and he's been described as in the tradition of 'Brando, Dean and Dylan.'

Buddy Rich and his Orchestra

Saxophones Pat Labarbera, Brian Grivna, Jimmy Mosher, Don Englert, Joe Calo Trombones Bruce Paulson, Tony Dimaggio, John Heimkreiter Trumpets Lin Biviano, Jeff Stout, Wayne Naus, John Deflon Piano Robert Dogan Bass Paul Kondziela The man some say is the greatest drum technician alive drives his orchestra through their paces, including jazz standards by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Thelonious Monk. (Buddy Rich appears by arrangement with Harold Davison)

Don McLean

Don McLean served his song-writing apprenticeship during the time he spent on veteran folk-singer Pete Seeger's wind-powered anti-pollution cruise round the Eastern waterways of the USA. His first LP was ignored until the mysterious hit 'American Pie' forced his work onto a wider public. Tonight's programme includes Don's 'Pie' and his homage to Van Gogh, 'Vincent.'

The Kinks

The Kinks Kronikle brought up to date, from the raucous 'You Really Got Me' to the brass band revival of 'The Village Green Preservation Society.' Ray Davies (lead vocals/guitar), Dave Davies (lead guitar), John Dalton (bass guitar), John Gosling (piano) Mick Avery (drums), Mike Cotton (trumpet), Alan Holmes (saxophone), John Beecham (trombone)

Richie Havens

The dynamic Havens strums his way through 'High flying bird,' Graham Nash's 'Teach the children' and Paul Simon's 'Old Friends.'

The Eagles

The Eagles' sound is California, a sweet blend of sophisticated country music that is the 70s equivalent of the sounds put out by the Byrds and Mamas and Papas in 1965. Included tonight is the song that took them to No 1 in the USA, 'Take it easy.' Glen Frey (vocal/lead guitar), Bernie Leadon (vocal/acoustic guitar), Don Henley (drums), Randy Meisner (bass guitar)

Steeleye Span

Traditional folk music, supplied at 240 volts by our most recent transatlantic musical export Maddy Prior (vocals), Tim Hart (guitar/vocals), Bob Johnson (electric guitar/vocals), Peter Knight (electric violin/vocals), Rick Kemp (bass guitar/vocals)

Martin Mull

'It's so hard to say "au revoir". Let's just say "hors d'oeuvres".' Say hello to Martin - he's fun.

John Williams

with Dudley Moore, Charlotte Nassim, Esmail Msheikh, Tim Walker, Rob Babbington, Chris Karan, Derek Grossmith, Roy Willox, Brian Hawkins, Robin Firman

America

Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek. With Dave Attwood, Dave Dickie
