Mark Radcliffe presents solo and chats to singer-songwriter John Otway.

Singer-songwriter John Otway joins Mark to discuss his first album in ten years. Originally coming to prominence in the 1970's, John recently followed in the footsteps of Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones, by travelling to the Caribbean island of Montserrat - once the location of the famous Air Studios - to record his new album. With Air Studios in disrepair after a series of natural disasters, John had to create his own recording space. He chats to Mark about the project, the album and his career in music over the last five decades.

Plus there will be visits from our regular features The Chain and daily quiz Tea Time Theme Time. It's your chance to get involved and possibly be on the airwaves for all to hear!
