Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, Joan Armatrading joins Mark and Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record she owned, the most recent one she’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her.

The singer-songwriter moved to Birmingham from St. Kitts at the age of seven, and went on to teach herself to play the piano and guitar. She released her debut album Whatever’s For Us in 1972 and became best known for her songs Drop The Pilot, The Weakness In Me and Me Myself and I. She is celebrating 50 years as a performer by releasing The Weakness In Me, a book of her lyrics and scores, and a new live album, recorded at London’s Asylum Chapel.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
