friday rock show with tommy vance

[E-Z]

I remember Tommy getting some criticism from some rock fan's on his FRIDAY NIGHT ROCK SHOW back around 1986 for playing to much thrash metal instead of ''classic heavy rock/metal bands'' on the show but he said that he was really getting into thrash (at that particular time).

''ROCK ON TOMMY''

I think when he used to do the Festive 50, or whatever it was, inherited from John Peel, there was a year when Won knocked Stairway to Heaven off the top spot. I remember Awaken and 2112 being in the list.

Tommy had a competition between new bands called Rock Wars. I remember a group called Gypsy Tarts winning. They were good. There was also a weekly competition where you had to spot the connection between three tracks (sent in by listeners). He used Van Der Graaf Generator as his theme music.
