Bill Nelson

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by musician Bill Nelson.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's guest today is the experimental art rock musician, singer-songwriter, producer and painter Bill Nelson. Famous for being the main songwriter and guitarist in the 70s rock group Be-Bop Deluxe (Ships in the Night, Maid in Heaven), Yorkshire-born Bill went to art college where he developed a love of poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. He then went onto form new wave band Red Noise and also released a solo single Do You Dream in Colour? He's collaborated with SO MANY people - A Flock of Seagulls, John Cooper Clarke, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Gary Numan, The Skids, Cabaret Voltaire, to name a few - and is here to talk about some of his latest reissues.

Supplementary to the main event, The Chain returns, over six chiliads* of songs. No repetitions and YOU get to pick the next one. There's also a dose of Tea Time Theme Time to ease you into late afternoon. Simple, it's a triplet of songs which are linked together in some way...but how?
(*a group of 1,000).
