Felix learns guitar and joins his first band. But it's not - yet - The Maccabees. Meanwhile a fresher England team find a rockstar-like figure in Freddie Flintoff.

Felix White's memoir abridged for radio is read by the author.

Felix White is a musician, writer and broadcaster best known as a guitarist in The Maccabees. He subsequently co-founded independent record label Yala! and co-presents the BBC’s Tailenders podcast with Greg James.

In It's Always Summer Somewhere he recalls growing up, his mother's illness and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world renowned band.

Abridged by Julian Wilkinson.
