Seventy-Five Revolutions
Welcome to Seventy-Five Revolutions, with Terri Hooley and Stuart Bailie. A podcast about music, mischief and trouble. The plan is to riff and ramble, to talk about alternative culture and the revolutionary power of the seven-inch single. Some of the podcasts are taking place before a live audience while others will be quiet conversations, recorded in a mate’s kitchen in Belfast. This podcast relates to Stuart’s book, Seventy-Five Revolutions, which celebrated Terri’s milestone birthday last December. Our big themes are friendship, resistance and rock and roll.
