Tom Jones and Noel Gallagher

Tom Jones joins Simon to talk about his latest album Long Distance Suitcase and his autobiography Over the Top and Back. Plus Noel Gallagher pops in.

Sir Tom Jones OBE joins Simon in the studio to talk about his latest album 'Long Distance Suitcase' as well as his autobiography 'Over The Top And Back'. Busy chap! Sir Tom became one of the most popular vocalists to emerge from the mid-1960s. Since then, he has sung many forms of popular music - pop, rock, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul, and gospel - and sold over 100 million records. He has had thirty-six Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom and nineteen in the United States; some of his notable songs include "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", "Delilah", "Green, Green Grass of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ", "She's a Lady", "Kiss", and "Sex Bomb"...

As well as a music legend joining us there'll be the usual silly listener confession for the panel to ruminate over, your homework questions are answered and there is the latest travel, sport and business news.

Plus Noel Gallagher pops in ahead of his In Concert for Jo Whiley later.
