I vaguely remembered this from the early days of Channel 4 in the early 80's and I guess you could say it was a precursor to the likes of Jools Holland's Later.... Basically it's the ridiculously talented Rick Wakeman and Tony Ashton, keyboard players both, chatting & playing songs with their musical friends of the 60's, 70's and occasionally the 80's. It's a very loose format & in my eyes works the better for it even if it does occasionally veer into self indulgence but it is FUN. It's deliberately set in a "pub" type setting to make it feel more relaxed with fags & booze a plenty! Shame it only aired for 6 programmes but maybe that stopped it getting stale & disappearing up its own backside as ...Later did. If you remember OTT with Chris Tarrant this is on a similar line.
