Saved by the Seventies

It must be a radio DJ's worst nightmare. Minutes from going live on air, the VCS computerised music system with more than 40,000 songs packs up. Such a fate befell Radio 2 drive time host Chris Evans on Monday. Evans was caught completely short and had to resort to the only CD on hand to get him out of a total mess. For the rest of the show Radio 2 audiences enjoyed music from a Sounds of the 70s compilation. Monkey hears that the audience response was really positive. Could wall-to-wall Mud, Pickettywitch and Mungo Jerry provide a possible cure for the radio industry's current ills?
