On this day in 1979 The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" officially went to number one on the UK Singles Chart.

It spent exactly one week at number one before being overtaken by Lena Martell's "One Day at a Time"

County Durham born super producer Trevor Horn comes to Gala Durham this month. In this intimate evening, the man at the heart of some of Britain's most important pop music of the past 50 years will talk about his exploits as a bona fide legend of pop.
