In 1998, Jo Whiley's show captured the music world at a fascinating turning point. With festival season underway, the Phoenix Festival was cancelled, while the Lighthouse Family pulled their Finsbury Park concert due to poor ticket sales. The episode also previewed Velvet Goldmine, featured Madonna reflecting on motherhood, and took a look at Q Magazine's list of Britain's richest rock stars. Studio guests included Placebo's Brian Molko, Fun Lovin' Criminals, James Brown from GQ, and more, discussing the biggest stories shaping music in the late '90s. A fantastic time capsule from an era when music television was essential viewing.
