Suzi's guest this week is Graham Gouldman - it's all about the bass!
Graham Gouldman's songs provide the soundtrack to so many teenage memories. From his first songwriting hit 'For Your Love' recorded by The Yardbirds in 1965, through memorable tunes and lyrics for The Hollies and Herman's Hermits in the '60s, a decade of hits with 10cc in the '70s and early '80s, songwriting partnerships with Kirsty MacColl, Suggs from Madness, Andrew Gold, Gary Burr, Tim Rice and - still contributing to those teenage soundtracks - co-writing with McFly on their Number One album Wonderland.
With their instruments to hand, Suzi and Graham discuss their favourite bass players and look at some of the stylistic elements that make them great. Players discussed include Paul McCartney, Motown's James Jamerson, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin and many more.
