Listen again to the @christt Interview and session from Tuesday’s Propaganda show.
On Tuesday 5th April from 7pm, the legendary Chris T-T joins Propaganda’s Andy and Jamie for a live session. “Vivid, outspoken and inventive, with occasional bursts of withering sarcasm”, Chris T-T’s dry wit, left-wing politics and clever lyricism never fail to win over audiences, whatever their political viewpoint. The Morning Star columnist has made seven studio albums and will be in the studio to talk about his new EP - ‘Words Fail Me’ - which is released on Monday 11th April 20011. As well as playing live, Chris will be picking some of the music for the show. To date Chris has played radio sessions on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 3, XFM, BBC6Music, BBC Radio Ulster, Resonance FM, LBC and can now add Xstream East Radio to the list. Over the years, Chris has played alongside Ben Folds, British Sea Power, The Divine Comedy, Elbow, Bellowhead, The National, The Walkmen, Quasi, Tom Robinson, Brakes, Frank Turner, Electric Soft Parade, KT Tunstall, Emma Pollock (Delgados), Carter USM, The Broken Family Band, Jim Bob, author Iain Sinclair, Madrugada, Hefner, Robyn Hitchcock, Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and many others. Listen live from 7pm on Tuesday 5th April at www.xstreameast.co.uk.
