1980

Rewind takes a look back at 1980 to relive the music and stories making the headlines in this momentous year. Scottish singers Kelly Marie and Sheena Easton were topping the charts, but across the UK unemployment was on the rise, and tragedy struck when John Lennon was fatally shot in New York. At the Moscow Olympics, Scots sprinter Allan Wells took gold, while at home, Aberdeen won the Scottish League Cup. On TV, millions watched to find out who shot JR in US soap Dallas, and cinemagoers flocked to see The Empire Strikes Back, which featured one of the biggest plot twists in movie history.
