Regular host Alexis Petridis is somewhere across the Atlantic this week, so Kieran Yatesis joined by Michael Hann, who exclusively reveals what he used to wear at funk gigs as a young man. Jude Rogers is our guest.
James Fearnely, accordion player for the Pogues, has a new book out called Here Comes Everybody – an account of the friendships, bust-ups, highs and dramatic lows of a treasured and often misunderstood band. He talks to Michael Hann about life on the road with Shane MacGowan.
Singles Club this week features Richard Burton reading Under Milk Wood over some King Tubby. We're also rating tunes by Wizkid and Om.
When New Zealand expat Willy Moon discovered – much to his surprise – that there was music before the Beatles, his new sound was born. He fell in love with the music of the 1950s and set about blending it with electronics – and some very natty suits. He came in to talk to Alexis Petridis.
Thanks for listening – and do leave your thoughts below.
