The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess joins Cerys to chat about his love of the blues and play some of his favourite blues records. Expect a mixture of some of the most celebrated names in blues as well as a few surprises...

The band are something of an indie rock institution and since their debut single in 1990 have released thirteen studio albums, three of which reached number one in the UK top 40.

Plus, Cerys digs into her collection to play blues of all hues. From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it’s from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues.
