BBC Radio 2 - Jools Holland, Artist and musician Billy Childish guests

Cult artist and musician 'Wild' Billy Childish joins Jools in the studio.

Jools' guest this week is the artist and musician Billy Childish, who picks some of his favourite songs and helps Jools recreate a blast from his punk past.

In the studio with Jools this week is "Wild" Billy Childish, a prolific artist and musician, who picks his favourite records and enables Jools to re-live a punk classic that Mr Holland played on back in 1978.

A contemporary - and former partner - of Tracey Emin, Childish has recorded dozens of albums over the last 40 years, both as a solo act and as part of bands like Thee Milkshakes, the Buff Medways and the Musicians of The British Empire.

At the same time he's maintained a parallel career as an artist, poet and sculptor, with fans like Nick Cave, Jack White & Kylie Minogue, who named one of her albums after a Childish poem!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
