I do love to be beside the seaside

It’s World Maritime Day this week and in honour of this occasion, and of seafarers everywhere Marty and Venetia have pulled together an hour of 1970s songs related to the sea. We cover a broad range of genres from heavy rock to punk and disco and from well known acts to slightly more obscure but they all have something to with the sea, boats or the beach. So slap on your sunscreen and your bellbottoms and grab you bucket and spade and join us on our tip to the seaside.
