Sex Pistols' Steve Jones

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.

Musical yule logs Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie keep you cosy during the winter months with a selection of warming tunes. Their guest today is Sex Pistol guitarist Steve Jones. Born in West London in 1955, he founded the Sex Pistols in 1972 with Paul Cool and Wally Nightingale, and was their guitarist until the band broke up in 1978. He is a musician, record producer and actor. He lives in Los Angeles, where he hosts the radio show Jonesy芒鈧琓Ms Jukebox. His book takes in everything from his modern Dickensian childhood in Hammersmith to the Kings Road of the early Seventies, through the years of the Sex Pistols, punk rock, the recording of 芒鈧珹narchy in the UK芒鈧琓M and Never Mind the Bollocks芒鈧 to his self-imposed exile in New York and Los Angeles where he battled with alcohol, heroin and sex addiction, caught in a cycle of rehab and relapse. Heady stuff!

PLUS why not stoke the fires of The Chain with another song to add to the 6,000 odd already on there. Or gather the office around the wireless for a round of Tea Time Theme Time, when you must guess the link between the three records芒鈧珹ND get your name read out on the wireless! What better early Christmas could there ever be (rhetorical question)?
