Music, chat, and John Cale turns 80

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat, and celebrate the 80th birthday of founding member of The Velvet Underground John Cale.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they celebrate the 80th birthday of singer, songwriter, producer and founding member of The Velvet Underground John Cale. He was born on 9th March 1942 in Garnant, Wales and became an influential figure across many musical genres – rock, classical, drone, electronic and avant-guard.

Mark and Stuart also discuss what bird best represents their personality, sitcom casting might-have-been’s, and ask whatever happened to Batman’s sidekick Robin?

There’s also a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs - and a particularly difficult ‘Tea Time Theme Time’.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
