6M | Alexis Taylor And Green Gartside | 20170220 | | Stuart presents the show solo today, joined by Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) and Green Gartside (Scritti Politti). Alexis - frontman of electro-pop hitmeisters Hot Chip - recorded an album 'Piano' last year, and has since commissioned 11 of his musical pals to each record a companion piece to this album - called 'Listen With(out) Piano). The 11 new tracks can each be played on their own - OR at the same time as the original album to create a musical blend! Green Gartside is one of those musicians who's written a track. Cardiff-born Green formed post-punk Scritti Politti in 1977 with fellow art students from Leeds Polytechnic, and was well known for their 1988 hit 'Oh Patti'. After retiring from the limelight of the music industry, he came back in in 1999 with a new album, Anomie and Bonhomie and White Bread, Black Beer in 2006. He since returned to touring with Scritti Politti and is here with Alexis to talk all about their new collaboration. And if that wasn't enough, there's the trusty show staple The Chain - where you, the actual listener, get the chance to link one track to the one before - and Teatime Themetime, for all your huddle-round-the-wireless-radio-quiz needs.

6M | Mark And Jeremy From The Levellers | 20161101 | | Mark Radcliffe presents the show solo, joined by Mark Chadwick and Jeremy Cunningham of alternative folk punk band The Levellers. Mark and Jeremy met in The Eagle pub in Brighton, in 1988. Discovering that they had a fair bit in common, including a left wing view of politics, they decided to form a band. They soon added Charlie Heather on drums and Jon Sevink on fiddle and, after a short while, Alan Miles to play harmonica, guitar and the mandolin.The band released two EPs on their own Hag label in 1989, which led to a contract with Musidisc. They released their first album, A Weapon Called the Word, in 1990 which is one of the few albums known to have gone gold without ever charting. After its release, Miles quit the band and was quickly replaced by Simon Friend and that Levellers line-up of Mark, Jeremy, Jon, Simon and Charlie continues to this day (with Matt Savage later joining on keyboards). The Levellers were discovered that year by Derek Green (the man responsible for signing the Sex Pistols) and signed to independent label China Records. The following year, they released Levelling The Land which was a massive success, entering the charts at number 14 and eventually going platinum. The single One Way, despite not bothering the Top 40, became a live favourite for years to come. They join Mark Radcliffe to chat about their tour.

6M | Mark In Conversation With Kate Bush | 20110523 | | With Kate's new album, "The Director's Cut", she's gone back and re-mixed and re-worked a selection of some of her older material. Sometimes that means a new vocal track, or new instrumentation, or in the case of "Flowers Of The Mountain" a whole new lyric. Originally Kate had wanted to use extracts from James Joyce's "Ulysses" for the lyric, but was denied permission from his estate, so Kate wrote her own lyric, and this became "The Sensual World". Since then, the James Joyce estate has had a change of heart and allowed her to use Joyce's words, which now means the track is exactly how she wanted it to be. So the explanation for the re-working of "Flowers Of The Mountain" makes sense... but Mark also asks her why she decided to re-make so many other chunks of her back catalogue? What did she think was wrong with all this music that so many other people find incomparable? Mark talks to Kate Bush to mark the release of her new album The Director's Cut. |

6M | Mark In Conversation With Kate Bush | 20110525 | | Mark gets to quiz Kate about "The Sensual World" album and in particular how much of her lyrics are personal, and how much are pure story-telling? And Mark was particularly keen to ask Kate whether she approached the re-working of "This Woman's Work" with any great trepidation? Especially given that it's probably her signature song, and one her fans are most devoted to. Mark gets to quiz Kate Bush about The Sensual World album. |
6M | Mark In Conversation With Kate Bush | 20110526 | | In the fourth part of Mark Radcliffe's interview with Kate Bush, Mark discusses the importance of technology to both Kate's personal life and her working life. They also discuss Kate's amazingly prescient song "Deeper Understanding", written in the late eighties, in which she envisioned a life inseparable from technology. Kate Bush discusses the importance of technnology to her personal and working life. |
6M | Mark In Conversation With Kate Bush | 20110527 | | In the final part of the interview, Mark asks Kate about her future plans, including the billion dollar question for any fan of Kate Bush; having been in the studio re-working old material, is she inspired to now start work on new material? In the final part of the interview, Mark asks Kate about her future plans. |

Mark is joined by actor Martin Freeman, who talks about his latest television project, Fargo. Plus, as part of 6 Music Celebrates Ireland week, Mark plays some of his favourite Irish tunes. He tells us why he's chosen to play these particular tracks and the history behind the songs themselves. One of these tracks is Van Morrison's Coney Island. 'This is taken from his stunning 1989 Avalon Sunset album. Some people found the orchestrations a bit lush but the beauty of the strings here is wonderfully complemented by Van's thick Ulster accent. Another track is The Auld Triangle, by Bert Jansch. He says, ''This was written by Dominic Behan, brother of Brendan Behan and it appears in his celebrated 1954 play 'The Quare Fellow'. At least, that's one theory. Dominic Behan never credited himself as composer suggesting it might be a traditional old prison song or somesuch'. And finally, The Dubliners - The Travelling People. 'This is actually written by an Englishman - the celebrated Salfordian Ewan MacColl. But The Dubliners made this their own - in particular the way it was sung so indelibly by the late Luke Kelly'. |
