In the 1970s, Rick Wakeman and Griff Rhys Jones changed everything. Rick made keyboards as sexy as guitars whilst Griff made comedy alternative.


Now, these 70s pioneers are actually in their 70s. They’ve experienced a lifetime of changes – so many changes in fact that they’ve now worked out that the 1970s wasn’t ‘the decade that taste forgot’. Instead it was the beginning of innovation, freedom of expression and extraordinary trousers.


In their new weekly podcast, Rick and Griff bring us history as you’ve never heard it before. From religion…(would Noah have built the ark had the concept of the Yellow Weather Warning been invented?) to fashion…(what was the fantastic sartorial journey that took us from grey flannel slacks to split-kneed loon pants??)


They’ll also answer your burning questions, e-mail Question@RickandGriff.co.uk


Celebrate the last 50 years of history with Rick & Griff, available on all podcast platforms.

    In this, the third instalment in Rick and Griff’s analysis of Weddings, (after all, they’ve had a few between them…..), they investigate such phenomena as:


    The Cost of Dresses.


    The Cost of Cakes.


    OK, it’s mostly about the costs, but they do also discuss the institution of Marriage itself.

    When the wedding invitation drops through the letterbox, what do you do?


    Rejoice at the thought of a good party at someone else's expense?


    Or groan loudly at the prospect of an interminable afternoon with people you never really liked?


    If either are true, this is the episode for you.

    Ep20: Weddings and Marriage - Part 1
    Jul 9 2026

    To some, like Griff, a Wedding happens once, some years ago. To others, like Rick, a Wedding is a regular occurrence.


    If you’ve ever had a wedding stuck in a toilet, or ever tried the ‘working honeymoon’, or find yourself tight rope walking, well, this is the episode for you.


    You may kiss the bride.
