Singer, songwriter and one half of Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything'

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

Today singer, songwriter and one half of Everything But The Girl, Ben Watt joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that鈥檚 the first record he owned, the most recent one he's enjoyed and the record that means 'everything' to him. Ben formed Everything But The Girl in Hull in the early 1980's with his partner Tracey Thorn. The duo came to worldwide prominence in the mid-1990's with the release of a Todd Terry remix of their single 'Missing'. Now with a brand new solo album - his fourth solo album to date - Ben, who is also a writer and DJ, discusses his latest work as well as sharing some of the music that has been important in his life.

Also on the show... a whole host of quality radio items including 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend - plus another instalment of Sunday Glove Songs.

You can take part in The Chain, choosing a track for our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

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