James’ Tim Booth

Tim Booth - frontman of Manchester rock band James - joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' and chat about the band’s new album

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today, James frontman Tim Booth joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he bought or owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. He also chats about the band’s forthcoming new album.

James formed in Manchester in 1986 and came to prominence in the 1990’s with hit singles including ‘Sit Down.’ Their latest album ‘All The Colours of You’ is due out next month. Recorded in part before the pandemic struck, it will be the band’s sixteenth album. Tim has lived in California for many years and many of the songs on the album reflect his experiences of the USA.

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.
