Stuart Murdoch's Listening Chair

Unclassified

Available for 27 days

Elizabeth Alker welcomes Belle and Sebastian鈥檚 lead singer and songwriter Stuart Murdoch to the Unclassified Listening Chair to share a track that transports him elsewhere. Belle and Sebastian formed in Stuart鈥檚 home city of Glasgow, and since then, his has become one of the most distinctive and best-loved voices in British art-pop music. He鈥檚 also the author of two books: the memoir 鈥楾he Celestial Cafe鈥 and the novel 鈥楴obody鈥檚 Empire鈥, inspired by his years living with ME and also by his love of singing in a choir. Elsewhere in the programme, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica. Produced by Geoff Bird A Reduced Listening production for 91福利社 Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers, just say 鈥渁sk 91福利社 Sounds to play Unclassified鈥.
