Cerys Matthews

6 Music Festival 2015

Cerys Matthews presents live coverage of the 6 Music Festival from The Boiler Shop, Newcastle.

Cerys Matthews presents the first of two live shows from the midst of the 6 Music Festival By Day, at The Boiler Shop, Newcastle - the birthplace of Robert Stephenson's Rocket.

She catches up with Tim Burgess - singer-songwriter, author, record label boss, and coffee enthusiast - who will be headlining Sunday evening, at the Sage. The pair, who met whilst on separate musical pilgrimages to Nashville, will talk about their shared love of country music. They will also discuss The Charlatans' remarkable renaissance, which has followed the tragic loss of drummer Jon Brookes, and has been cemented with their critically-acclaimed new album Modern Nature.

Cerys will also chat to Songhoy Blues, who she has championed for ages and finally gets to interview, following their own performance at the festival on Saturday. This group of young musicians, from the Songhoy ethnic group, were displaced from their native Gao to the Malian capital of Bamako. After gaining recognition through Damon Albarn's Africa Express project, they now release their own album.

The show will also showcase some live highlights from the festival so far, and celebrate the music - and musicians - of Tyneside with Cerys' usual genre-spanning selection of beautiful tunes.
