The Alternative 70s Show is all about the great music of the decade that didn’t always shout the loudest, but quietly got under everyone’s skin. Think Wings, 10cc, Pilot, John Lennon, Elvis Costello and Eric Clapton — artists who cared about clever songwriting, musicianship, and doing things their own way. These are the songs you know well… even if you didn’t realise how many of them you know.
Calling it “alternative” doesn’t mean obscure — it just means this is the smarter side of the seventies. Brilliant melodies, sharp lyrics and proper musicianship, all delivered with warmth, humour and style. It’s a reminder that some of the best music of the 1970s wasn’t always at number one — but these are songs people still love, sing along to, and smile at decades later.
