What's in Vernon's Vault today?

Louise Wener from Sleeper shares her 10 song musical journey on this week's Tracks of My Years. Plus there's Record and Album of the Week and another dive into Vernon's Vault.

Louise Wener from Sleeper shares her musical journey through ten of her most influential and favourite songs in this week's Tracks of My Years.

Sleeper burst on to the music scene in 1995 with their anthem 'Inbetweener', and went on to have eight top 10 singles - including 'Sale Of The Century', 'Nice Guy Eddie' and 'Statuesque', as well as three top 10 albums.

Louise became one of the 'faces' of the British indie movement, and after Sleeper split up in 1998 she turned her hand to writing novels, and to date has published four books of fiction, her autobiography AND a play for Radio 4.

Sleeper reformed in 2017, and after releasing a new album in 2018, they've been successfully touring, with more festivals to follow this summer. The 30th anniversary of debut album 'Smart' is being marked with a 12 date autumn tour, starting in Cardiff on the 25th September.

Plus there's the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the 91热爆 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.
