Show Notes
On Friday morning at this year's End of the Road festival, we heard from comedian Molly McGuinness and excellent band big long sun (stylised as such!) about working at CeX, TopMan and a chip shop where they put on gigs upstairs. Follow Molly McGuinness to catch her live, and give a good listen to big long sun's new album 'love songs and spiritual recollections'.

After the initial deserved hype of their 2000 debut Since I Left You, the Australian spent 16 years getting their second album together - turning down lucrative anniversary shows and commercial offers to preserve their integrity. Now their new album No Bad Memories, with features from Rivers Cuomo, John Glacier, Mike Patton and Portraits of Tracy, is peaking its full potential.
Alex's new album Give Me A Dream is an absolute gem, you should definitely be listening to it on 23 October.
