With Kevin Rowland

Shaun delivers northern wit, expels another Earworm and plays tunes to gladden the heart, plus he has a chat with Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland.

Thursday sees Shaun chat with Kevin Rowland ahead of a brand new Dexys single. The track 'Incapable Of Love' will be released through on Monday 29th October 2012 and is taken from their fourth album, One Day I'm Going To Soar, which was released in June under the Dexys name to widespread acclaim.

Their first album in 26 years, following the release of Don't Stand Me Down in 1985, it features previous members Kevin Rowland, Mick Talbot on keyboards , Pete Williams on bass and Jim Paterson (who co-wrote some of the tracks) on trombone.

It also features Neil Hubbard and Tim Cansfield on guitars, Madeleine Hyland on vocals, Lucy Morgan on viola and Ben Trigg leading the string section.

Dexys are currently in the middle of an extensive UK tour, which includes a sold-out show at London's prestigious Barbican venue.

Shaun delivers northern witty wisdom, expels another wriggly Earworm track, and plays tunes to gladden the heart.

There's a killer Touch Me In The Morning track lurking in the playlist to make you sob like a baby. Tissues at the ready!

Plus, there's up-to-the minute music news courtesy of news horse (and former Menswear drummer) Matt Everitt.
