We love our American music, but rock would not be the same without the many contributions from the Brits.

Just think about it. No Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who, Queen, Dire Straits, Cream, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and so many others who hail from across the pond.

So this weekend, we will remind you through hourly double-shots of tunes, just how awesome those British bands and artists are, and how they have made one hell of a contribution to the world of Rock-n-Roll!

By the way, we’re always looking for ideas for Classic Rock theme weekends, so if you have an idea you’d like us to feature for a weekend, let us know!

Have a Rock and Roll Weekend, and remember to take 99.1 The Whale wherever you go, so you won’t miss all that great Classic Rock. We give you three ways to listen –  on your radio at 99.1 FM, online at 991thewhale.com and on your mobile phone with radioPup!
