Heavy on the groove
This week we decided not to have a theme, but we have ended up with a bit of a groovy feel anyway, with a dash of heavy rock. It’s a pretty classic Seventies mix! The post Heavy on the groove appeared first on Living in the 70s .
Living in the 70s
Were you born in the Seventies? Join us for the sounds of the 70s every Saturday morning. Martin and Venetia will take you to the decade of denim flares, burnt orange kitchen bench tops and the birth of disco and glam rock! Each week we’ll have a 70’s theme that we’ll explore, such as songs from disaster movies, movement anthems, one hit wonders, daggy duets, funky numbers, and disco tracks that steamed up the dance floor in many an LGBTI venue, to name just a few. The 70s produced some amazing…

More singer songwriters
On this weeks show we are exploring more of those brilliant singer songwriters of the Seventies. Folks who compose and sing their own songs, some playing thier own instruments. Some are are confessional troubadours, some are more interested in other genres, but all of them contribute something special and uniquely their own.

Natural wonder
Where would we be without nature? It nurtures us, it restores us, it even heals us. Life would be pretty sad indeed without the awe and wonder of the natural world, the feelings of sun on our skin and rain on our faces and cool breezes lifting our hair, the salt tang of the sea and the bright clean air of the mountains. Many songwriters have been moved to write songs about the wonders of nature.…
It’s the fashion
The fashion scene and the music scene go hand in hand. Musical trends push fashion forward and fashion helps artists create identities and express themselves. In fact fashion helps us all express ourselves. It’s not surpriseing, then, that items of clothing sometimes make an appearance in song lyrics. This week all of our tracks are very well dressed. The post It’s the fashion appeared first on…
News worthy
While many songs are about timeless themes such as love, other songs can be very specific to the time and place where they were created. Like other artists, songwriters and musicians respond to what is happening around them – they hear the news and respond to current events. In the Seventies, this meant there were plenty of songs written about peace, social change and political resistance. On this…
How’s the weather where you are?
Aaah the weather – the favourite subject of small talk, the topic of concern of farmers and walkers, and also the metaphor of choice for depicting a mood since time immemorial. It’s stormy weather, it’s raining in your heart, it’s a sunshiny day, and so on. Well here’s hoping that the sun comes out for all of you, our lovely listeners, while you enjoy our selection of Seventies tracks all about…
What we’re listening to
This week there’s no theme, we have just picked a few of the tracks we’ve been listening to this week that we wanted to share with you, our lovely listeners. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. The post What we’re listening to appeared first on Living in the 70s .
The final frontier
It’s been a great week for space exploration! The Artemis has circled around the moon and back and sent back some spectacular images. So we thought we would put together a little soundtrack of Seventies space themed songs for your celestial enjoyment. The post The final frontier appeared first on Living in the 70s .
Sweets for the sweet
For those wo celebrate it, Hapy Easter! For everyone else, happy long weekend! We hope your egg hunts were plentiful and your hot cross buns were toasty. On this week’s show we are acknowledging the occasion by playing songs all about sweets. As we always say – any excuse for a theme! The post Sweets for the sweet appeared first on Living in the 70s .
Happy birthday Marty!
It’s Marty’s turn this week to sit back and be pampered for his birthday. Yes, for this week’s play list, Venetia has combed the music of the 1970s to pick tracks she thinks Marty will love. Or at least tracks from artists that she knows he loves, even if the tracks themselves might be slightly left field. And because we are thrifty, here at Living in the 70s, we are doing a bit of regifting and…
