• 18th Feb 2013

Radio 2 DJ, Janice Long, who has celebrated over 30 years in TV and radio broadcasting, is back with the exciting third series of the JANICE LONG REVIEW SHOW, featured on the award winning music channel Vintage TV.

Every Sunday at 8.30pm (Sky 369, Freesat 515) Janice is joined by a stellar guest-list of music gurus to discuss classic albums, hot new releases, music milestones with frank but friendly debates about what we all know and love: music.

Filmed in Soho’s iconic Tin Pan Alley 12 Bar Club, The Janice Long Review Show brings back into the spotlight some of the 20th Century’s most celebrated musical heroes. Janice and her guests relive fond memories as they unpick album concepts and discuss in-depth singles, melodies and lyrics with brutal honesty. Put four music lovers into one room and you are sure to capture something special.

The first episode in this series (17th Feb, 8.30pm) welcomes Jethro Tull’s front man Ian Anderson, Daily Express deputy editor Michael Booker and Simon Nicol of Fairport Convention who put Jethro Tull’s ‘Thick as a Brick’ and Christy Moore’s ‘Ride On’ through their paces.

In episode 2 (24th Feb, 8.30pm) “Lucky Number” singer Lene Lovich, journalist Terry Staunton and Viv Albertine of The Slits talk through Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’ and The B52’s ‘Cosmic Thing’.

“It’s the perfect setting. Filming at the 12 Bar couldn’t feel more comfortable. In fact, every session is very relaxed. There’s no autocue or even cue cards, because I know what I’m talking about and so do all the guests. The conversation flows naturally; that’s what it’s all about. I love the range of guests – each and every one of them has made their mark. Whether it’s a musician, producer or journalist, they’ve all made a difference at some point. We record the shows for three hours every other Tuesday; they are three hours of my life I’ll never regret, or forget,” said Janice.
