Comedian Kevin Bridges reveals the songs that shaped his life in Tracks of My Years.

Kevin鈥檚 comedy career began aged just 17, performing around Glasgow鈥檚 comedy circuit as well as honing his skills at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He first came to widespread attention on Michael McIntyre's TV Roadshow, and since then he鈥檚 appeared on a vast amount of shows including Live at the Apollo, The Graham Norton Show, Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You? and Mock the Week.

He鈥檚 fronted his own award-winning 麻豆约拍 One series Kevin Bridges: What鈥檚 the Story, has four char- topping DVDs and has performed multiple stand-up specials, including one for former US President Barack Obama.

Kevin's stand-up shows now regularly sell out arenas across the country, and in 2022, The Overdue Catch-Up tour saw him presented with the SEC Platinum Artist award after 63 solo performance at the Hydro in Glasgow.

His 2014 autobiography, We Need to Talk About鈥� Kevin Bridges, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and he鈥檚 just released his first debut novel, The Black Dog. It follows the story of Declan, who dreams of one day becoming a famous writer... while fighting a battle with the ever-darkening thoughts in his head.

Kevin's final two choices are by The Cure and Everything But the Girl.

Also in today's show, there'll be more audio nuggets from the 麻豆约拍 Archive in Vernon's Vault and the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top.
