Music Weekly podcast: Tom Bromley is Wired for Sound; and Jessie Ware

Set the controls for the heart of the sun, it's another Music Weekly – and joining regular hosts Alexis Petridis and Kieran Yates is Michael Hann.

Jessie Ware comes in to talk about her new solo album, due for release later in the year, and reveals her early years as a journalist on the Jewish Chronicle and her occasional need to sing to a spoon.

On Singles Club we have a psychedelic and saucy mix of Haim, Swindle and Beyond The Wizards' Sleeve.

Writer Tom Bromley tells Michael about his new book Wired For Sound – a chronicle of the rise and fall of 80s music, from the Band Aid highs of Duran Duran, Wham! and U2 to the Band Aid II lows of Bros, Jason Donovan and Wet Wet Wet.

Look out for the Music Weekly extra podcast, too – we've off on another continental musical journey with Gilles Peterson, this time to the Netherlands.
