Hercules & Love Affair, Sivu & Benjamine Clementine

It's been a big-hearted and slightly emotional week, with a lovely bunch of musicians visiting the Live Room. And Chris Hewitt returns for a slightly spooky Friday Film Club.

It’s been a busy and slightly emotional week, with several guests bringing all the feels.

The tone was set by James Page, an inspiringly positive musician, who records and performs as Sivu (it’s the Finnish word for page). He talks about Ménière's disease, coming to terms with progressive hearing loss, and how he's not going to stop making music until he can't hear a note.

We catch up with big-hearted Mercury Winner, Benjamin Clementine. Ever-thoughtful, he’s approached his new album - I Tell A Fly – like a play.

Chris Hewitt returns for a slightly spooky Friday Film Club, that includes a contender for film of the year.

But first, Andy Butler – of Hercules & Love Affair - talks about his battle for sobriety, the essential support of his tight-knit band, and the heightened sensitivity to joy that can accompany vulnerability.
