Music Weekly: Notting Hill carnival special

This week, the podcast team have slapped on their baseball caps, William Hague style, and are sipping from a coconut in preparation for this weekend's Notting Hill carnival.

We meet DJ Norman Jay (MBE) who tells us about his favourite carnival memories and how his life changed after the riots in 1976. Then we take a trip down to Carnival Village to see how preparations are going. And we've got an exclusive track from the Jamaican mento band The Jolly Boys - you can watch their cover of Amy Winehouse's Rehab here.

On top of that there's Singles Club, in which presenter Alexis Petridis is joined by Emma Warren and Dan Hancox to cast their most critical of ears across records by JW & Blaze, Flowers & Sea Creatures and Ahu.

Hope you like the change of scene this week. We'll be back with more podtastic material next week. Until then feel free to friend us up on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. Bye!
