Marr-y Christmas! Mark and Stuart warm up for the festive season with a special show and very special guest. Musician, songwriter, singer, founder of The Smiths and all-round guitar legend Johnny Marr joins Mark and Stuart to chat about his latest music.

With four songs just released on new EP 鈥楩ever Dreams Pt 2,鈥� Johnny discusses his forthcoming double album, due for release in February 2022 and titled 鈥楩ever Dreams Pts 1-4.鈥� It will be his first solo studio album since 2018鈥檚 Call The Comet. As well as enjoying a successful solo career, Johnny is well known for his collaborations and work with other bands. Not least he is known as founding member of influential Manchester indie outfit The Smiths and an integral part of their distinctive sound. Since The Smiths split in 1987, Johnny has brought his infamous guitar style to a host of bands, playing with the likes of The The, Modest Mouse and The Cribs. He recently worked with Hans Zimmer and Billie Eilish on the latest Bond movie score and theme song. Johnny talks to Mark and Stuart about the making of his new album and his plans for 2022, including a tour with Blondie.

Also on the show... lots of festive cheer and chat, with Christmas tunes from artists including Stevie Wonder, Teenage Fanclub and The Ronettes.
