Chrissie Hynde

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie - a cosmopolitan smorgasbord of music and wit to make up your audio running buffet this afternoon! With guest, The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde. Inspired by hippie counter-culture, she worked in London with Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood at their punk-themed clothing store, SEX in London. In 1978, she formed her own band, The Pretenders, with Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers. As singer, songwriter and guitarist, she has been the only constant member of the band throughout its history. She has also released a number of hits with other musicians including Frank Sinatra and UB40. Hynde and The Pretenders were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. She's here to chat about her tales of life with the band.

As well as that, you can try and actually BE on the show by suggesting a track that's not yet been on long-running show feature The Chain OR pit your wits against the rest of the office/listening stronghold by trying to be first to guess the link between the three records in Teatime Themetime.
