´óÏó´«Ã½

Comedian Kevin Bridges reveals the songs that shaped his life in Tracks of My Years.

Kevin’s comedy career began aged just 17, performing around Glasgow’s comedy circuit as well as honing his skills at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He first came to widespread attention on Michael McIntyre's TV Roadshow, and since then he’s appeared on a vast amount of shows including Live at the Apollo, The Graham Norton Show, Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You? and Mock the Week.

He’s fronted his own award-winning ´óÏó´«Ã½ One series Kevin Bridges: What’s the Story, has four char- topping DVDs and has performed multiple stand-up specials, including one for former US President Barack Obama.

Kevin's stand-up shows now regularly sell out arenas across the country, and in 2022, The Overdue Catch-Up tour saw him presented with the SEC Platinum Artist award after 63 solo performance at the Hydro in Glasgow.

His 2014 autobiography, We Need to Talk About… Kevin Bridges, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and he’s just released his first debut novel, The Black Dog. It follows the story of Declan, who dreams of one day becoming a famous writer... while fighting a battle with the ever-darkening thoughts in his head.

Kevin's penultimate two choices are by Creedence Clearwater Revival and James.

Also in today's show, there'll be more audio nuggets from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Archive in Vernon's Vault and the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top.
