Slow Sunday: Musician and author Baxter Dury chats to Nemone about his extraordinary life

Baxter Dury shares the pivotal moments that have made him the artist he is today and the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life.

Baxter Dury talks candidly to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about the pivotal moments that have made him the artist he is today and the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life. Baxter shares the songs that have comforted and connected and reveals how he expresses feelings and emotions through writing his own music.

Baxter talks about his life growing up with his mum, the artist Betty Rathmell, his school days, expulsions (he left school at the age of fourteen), teenage anarchy, navigating friendships, and the Sulphate Strangler (a 6ft 7in drug dealer entrusted with Baxter鈥檚 care). He also talks at length about growing up with his Dad, Ian Dury, the legendary punk poet who could tickle or terrorise Baxter, depending how the mood took him.

Baxter's forthcoming seventh album 'I Thought I Was Better Than You', due for release on the 2nd of June, was part written with his teenage son Kosmo in lockdown. In this special episode, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, Baxter shares his thoughts on family and forgiveness. Featuring music from Madness to Run D.M.C, and Bob Dylan to Sly & The Family Stone, it's the perfect sound-track for a Slow Sunday.
