BBC Radio 6 Music - Marc Riley, The June Brides

August is the new June, apparently. Good job as Marc has The June Brides in session!

August is the new June apparently...good job as we have the legendary June Brides in session tonight! 

The June Brides had a brief life, 1983-86, but in that time they managed to write a debut LP, chart at No1 in the indie UK chart with it, be NME cover stars, tour with The Smiths, class John Peel as a fan and influence a generation of musicians. Not bad really!

Well they are back, and after releasing the double A-side A January Moon/Cloud on Occulation records and planning new gigs what was the next logical step? You got it right, to come play a session for Marc!
