3-hour "Overnights" on the four Saturdays in May.

demise in April 1991

Live conversations with Jerry Shirley, Chris Farlowe,
Keith Altham (Humble Pie PR agent), Mick Eve (Steve's agent
in latter years), Kofi Baker, Val Weedon (who worked in
Don Arden's office), and many more

Including some rarities, alternate versions, recorded
interviews with Steve Marriott and additional conversations
