The Purple Playlist

Mary Anne wants purple-themed song suggestions for a Purple Playlist in tribute to Prince, plus she continues her conversation with Buzzcocks guitarist and vocalist Steve Diggle.

What songs make you feel or think purple? In honour of Prince, we want your purple-themed song selections for a Purple Playlist in tribute to the late, great Prince.

And then ... once we have washed off the purple glitter ... Mary Anne continues her conversation with Buzzcocks' guitarist and vocalist Steve Diggle. In part two of this interview, which began on yesterday's programme, Steve reflects on love, sensitivity, and alcohol.

Steve is currently working on a new solo album, after a successful crowdfunding campaign which began in November, 2015.
