The Coral鈥檚 James Skelly

The Coral鈥檚 James Skelly joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' and chat about the band鈥檚 new album

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

Today, The Coral鈥檚 James Skelly joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that鈥檚 the first record he bought or owned, the most recent one he鈥檚 enjoyed and the record that means 鈥榚verything鈥� to him. He also chats about the band鈥檚 forthcoming new album.

James has been frontman of Merseyside indie rockers The Coral since the band formed in 1996. Their self-titled Mercury Nominated debut album came out in 2002 and included hit singles 鈥楧reaming Of You鈥� and 鈥楪oodbye鈥�. Their tenth studio album 鈥� titled 鈥楥oral Island鈥� - is due out this month and will be the band鈥檚 first double album. The new album is partly based on the band鈥檚 seaside memories growing up. The concept originally started off as a place where their ideas came together, and then it grew from there. They say the album, which was recorded at Liverpool鈥檚 Parr Street Studios, is about 鈥渢he light, shade, thrills and profound melancholy of coastal palaces packed with fun and fright.鈥� In the past few years James has produced all three of Blossoms鈥� albums, two of which reached no. 1 in the UK.

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.
