In this special episode of Talking About My Generation, Lee Scriven is joined by the brilliant Sammy Jones—legendary local journalist, rocker, and walking encyclopaedia of all things Milton Keynes music.
While regular co-host Del Bromham suns himself in Spain, Sammy steps into the hot seat and shares stories from her decades in music journalism, including her early inspiration from Kiss, rock icons she's interviewed, and her deep connection to the Milton Keynes music scene. From the importance of The Pitz to the rich history of The Stables and iconic gigs at The National Bowl, this is a celebration of the artists, venues, and moments that shaped generations.
Sammy speaks movingly about the recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the emotional tributes in Birmingham, and her personal reflections on his legacy. There’s laughter, nostalgia, heartfelt memories—and some surprising tales about Bon Jovi at the Bowl, PJ Harvey at The Manor, and why interviewing John Lydon was nothing like you’d expect.
Whether you're a lifelong rock fan, a local music lover, or just love a good story, this episode is packed with insight, humour and true passion for the power of music.
