Noddy Holder narrates the surprising origins of our favourite music genres. Owing a huge debt to James Brown and Bootsy Collins, Funk evolved during the 1960s to reflect the struggles of Black America and later soundtracked many a "Blaxploitation" movie. By the mid-70s its sound had crossed the racial divide and gone global. Brit-funk star David Grant and choreographer Toni Basil are among those putting classic performances by Brown, Isaac Hayes, Kool and the Gang, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins back into the spotlight.

Noddy Holder narrates the surprising origins of our favourite music genres. The Madchester scene was at the forefront of British rock 'n' roll during the 1980s, characterised by performers with a "mad for it" attitude. The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses are the best known, along with a brace of bands who owe their careers to the Factory Records label created by Tony Wilson. Arguably the Big Bang moment for all of this was a memorable gig in 1976, when art students who later formed The Buzzcocks persuaded Punk rockers The Sex Pistols to play a gig in the city. It was attended by young musicians who would shape the Manchester scene in the following decade, including founder members of Joy Division, The Fall and The Smiths. The programme celebrates the music of these great bands and interviews both fans who attended these early gigs, as well as the Madchester maracas maniac, Mark 'Bez' Berry.
