I'm chatting to Grant from Feeder, a band I first saw live in 1998, and have loved ever since. Long term listeners will be familiar with the James Brown/The Verve dilemma that I used to pose my guests, well Grant was actually playing that festival bill and he gives me his take on that impossible situation!

We talk about the new album Black/Red that completes the recent trilogy of releases, the upcoming Australian tour, how the band have developed over the course of their 30 year career, and rehearsing in a cow shed in Wales.

Grant also gives us an EXCLUSIVE (at the time of recording at least, damn you embargo!) announcement on the exciting future plans for the band.

There is also music on this week's show from fellow Welsh bands Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics and Catatonia, Fontaines DC, Sorcha Richardson, Sam Fender, Shed Seven and next week's Mixtape Guest The Murder Capital.
