Episode 4

Music from contemporary and classic artists. Featuring Manic Street Preachers, Jessie Ware, Ben Howard, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Benjamin Booker and Melanie De Biasio.

Joining Jools on the show are Blackwood's own rock gods Manic Street Preachers, who this year not only released their European-infused twelfth album Futurology but are also marking the 20th anniversary of their third LP The Holy Bible, which was the final work completed with guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards. They perform a couple of tracks from Futurology, including Europa Geht Durch Mich, which features vocals by German actress Nina Hoss, along with a classic from The Holy Bible.

Also in the studio is south London electro soul singer Jessie Ware, who is returning after her hugely successful 2012 debut with songs from her upcoming Tough Love album.

Devonian singer-songwriter Ben Howard had huge success with his 2011 debut and returns to perform tracks from his new LP I Forget Where We Were.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band are a funk and soul outfit led by Robert on the pedal steel, they return to the show after their debut ten years ago to perform a couple of tracks from their Lickety Split album.

Two artists making their UK debuts on the show are New Orleans-based Benjamin Booker, who has recorded his debut in an analogue studio in Nashville and has been described as 'a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul', and Belgian Melanie De Biasio, a classically trained flautist who has been heralded as a new voice in jazz.
