Vietnam: 50 Years On is a three hour radio programme, crammed full of music, recording Bob’s journey from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon) in the south, remembering the past but very much acknowledging the current. By mixing genuine news reports from the time with music from a diverse pool such as Johnny Cash, Pink, The Who, Chris Rea, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas … even Bing Crosby and The Police, Bob has recorded his thoughts and feelings and created a true “Must Listen” radio programme.
