Guitarist, songwriter and producer Marco Pirroni was a veteran of the punk scene before he played a pivotal role in Adam and the Ants. He joins Shaun to chat about his My 70s.

Fifty years ago this month, Marco Pirroni played guitar onstage in the first live incarnation of Siouxsie and the Banshees at London's 100 Club. As a guitarist, songwriter and producer, he was a veteran of the punk scene by the time he played a pivotal role in Adam and the Ants. He joins Shaun to chat all about his musical beginnings, inspirations and punk antics in his My 70s.

Shaun also marks what would have been Freddie Mercury's 80th birthday at the start of this month and looks forward to his DJ set at next week's Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling - his 70s Classic is disco-themed!
