Available Now! Listen to the People’s History Of Pop, presented by Toyah, online at BBC iPlayer.
Stories include a fan of the Beatles who as a teenager collected as much memorabilia as she could – only to lose it all in a house fire.
A Madonna superfan, who’s even turned her downstairs loo into a shrine of the queen of pop. We’ll hear about the brilliance of David Bowie, playing to just 2000 people at Birmingham’s Que Club. And hear how a Smiths fan from Solihull has come to own a piece of Morrissey’s shirt.
Toyah presents People’s History Of Pop this Sunday on BBC WM 95.6. A one-hour special for the radio station, airing at Midday.
The programme will be available to listen to live online or post-broadcast at BBC iPlayer.
