Johnnie Walker Meets…
Fleetwood Mac, Wednesday 1 January, 5pm-7pm

Late last year, a packed audience at London’s O2 Arena went wild as Fleetwood Mac welcomed Christine McVie on stage - completing the line-up of the band that produced one of the biggest selling albums of all times - Rumours.

The success of Fleetwood Mac is without precedent considering the varying line-ups. However, the constants include their remarkable drummer and 'big daddy' of the group Mick Fleetwood and the 'quiet man', bassist John McVie. Which is fortunate, as that’s how the band’s name came about, combining their two surnames way back in 1967.

Across two hours, Johnnie Walker speaks to Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and features a rare interview with pianist and singer-songwriter Christine McVie. Listeners will get to hear how they all had their part to play in the jigsaw puzzle of Fleetwood Mac’s enduring success. Despite the sometimes hedonistic lifestyle, divorces and ego clashes, they couldn’t have produced decades of hit records without love and friendship.

Tune in New Years Day to BBC Radio 2. This program will be streamed on-line

[This just might be the interview that Johnnie Walker had with Christine back in the early fall in London that he never aired on his program]

I had forgotten all about that interview. For weeks after it was recorded I kept checking the radio 2 website, then I gave up. It was so great to hear her on "tracks of my years" but it was so short. I'm hoping this is a bit longer.

I did exactly the same thing. I even e-mailed Johnny Walker about it, but never heard anything from him.

Thanks for posting, applebucked.

Here's Christine's segment from Johnnie Walker's show today. "Say You Love Me" played afterward, but I faded it out.

I'm leaving the house for a few hours, so I'll have to capture and upload Mick's segment later.

love it, thanks!!

do you by any chance have Lindsey's segment too?

edit: disregard, no LB segment in this preview, apparently.

Mick's voice sounds deeper or huskier than usual in this clip. He is at the 1 hour and forty minute mark. Michele

You're both very welcome.
I'll try to get the full two-hour show when it airs on New Year's Day too, if no one else does.

Here's Mick's segment. Sorry about the wait!
