With Kevin Rowland

Tom chats to enigmatic Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland.

Tom chats to Dexy's enigmatic frontman Kevin Rowland.
Dexy's Midnight Runners formed in Birmingham in 1978 and by 1980 their form of soulful pop had gained them their first of 2 number ones with Geno. They had 2 big selling albums off the back of the singles success, but they struggled with the 3rd album Don't Stand Me Down, which didn't match previous successes when finally released in 1985. The band split the following year.
They reformed in 2003 with 3 original members and a shortened name and released the 4th album One Day I'm Going To Soar in 2012. They release a live DVD Nowhere Is Home next week.

Huw Stephens from Radio 1 shares his personal tip from 麻豆社 Introducing, as does one of the Introducing shows from around the UK.
At 11 o'clock Tom launches The After Hour, where he dusts off tracks from the outer reaches of his record collection.
As part of 6 Music Live, celebrating live music on the network, Tom will be looking back across the more than 300 sessions which have been broadcast on 6 Music this past year alone. He will be picking some of his favourites and playing them today.'.
