Mark Radcliffe presents solo, with a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast
Today, singer-songwriter Conor O’Brien AKA Villagers joins Mark to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. He also chats about his forthcoming album ‘Fever Dreams’.
The album - which will be Conor’s fifth studio album - was written over two years and recorded with a full band in late 2019 and early 2020. It was then refined at Conor’s studio in Dublin during the pandemic. Conor has two Ivor Novello Awards, two Mercury Music Prize nominations, and has won Ireland’s Choice Music Prize. He cites the likes of Duke Ellington, Piero Umiliani, David Lynch, and L.S. Lowry as influences.
Also on the show... a whole host of quality radio items including 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend - plus another instalment of Sunday Glove Songs.
You can take part in The Chain, choosing a track for our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.
Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
