Brian Matthew kicks off your weekend with more sounds from this distinctive era in pop music.

This week we're Playing Hard To Get with a track by Scottish tenor Kenneth McKeller, who represented Great Britain in the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest. We'll let you decide whether it's a time honoured classic, or a nil point humdinger.

There are only a few days left until Christmas, so a couple of festive tracks from Roger Lavern & The Microns and Elvis Presley have slipped on to the playlist.

On a similar festive theme, amongst the requests we'll be playing the requested track All I Want for Christmas is a Beatle by Dora Bryan.

Tune in and join your old pal Brian Matthew for more fun, facts and stories behind the songs.
