Live REM - Glastonbury Festival, 2003
REM headlined the Pyramid Stage on the Friday night. 
They are an American rock band and formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980.
They released their first single "Radio Free Europe" in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.
Their debut album released in 1983 was called 'Murmur', and have since then put out 14 more albums.


SESSIONS:
Frames (on 28th August 1992)
The Frames are an Irish band based in Dublin and founded in 1990 by Glen Hansard.
The name 'The Frames' arose from Hansard's habit of fixing the bicycles of his friends. The large number of bicycle frames lying around his house led neighbours to dub it the "house with the frames".
In 2007 The Frames toured Australia and New Zealand as the support act for Bob Dylan.
They have released 10 albums to date.


Family Cat (on 30th January 1992 for John Peel)
The Family Cat were a British band formed in Stoke Newington, London in 1988.
They released three albums; 'Tell Em We're Surfin'(1989), 'Furthest From The Sun'(1992) and 'Magic Happens'(1995). 
The singer Paul Frederick now plays with the band Jack Adaptor.
