55-“..The Live Aid Blitz..”

This episode of The Grumpy Cyclist Talks Music features Jason “Jay” Hayward — someone I’d only actually met once before on a mutual friend’s stag do a few years ago.Being roughly the same age, it turns out we share a lot of the same memories and opinions when it comes to music and growing up.Jay talks about his love of 80s funk legends Level 42, wishing he’d been just a bit older to experience the early days of The Blitz nightclub scene, and how he and a friend watched Live Aid from start to finish on that scorching day in July 1985.We also chat about how special it is going to gigs with your children — and Jay’s first concerts: Showaddywaddy and Gary Numan, both within a few years of each other!!All that and plenty more in this nostalgic trip through music and memories.
