Mr. Ben & The Bens

Start the week with Lancaster-based folk pop band Mr Ben & the Bens live in session.

Start the week with Lancaster based folk pop band Mr Ben & the Bens live in session.

Mr Ben & The Bens are the project of Ben Hall, who describes it as 'Ham fisted Lancashire lad plays melodic folk pop'. His most recent album, Thanks for Saving my Life was released earlier this year. When he's not doing that he helps run independent record label, Bingo Records. Whether he wears a suit and a bowler hat like the other Mr Benn we'll discover on the night.

Plus Sex Pistol and Professional Paul Cook undergoes Marc's Manic Q & A.

And if that wasn't enough classic archive session tracks from Josef K, the James Taylor Quartet, the Faces and from Marc's very own part of the archive, Deerhunter .
