Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé talks about her bestselling 2012 debut album, 'Our Version of Events'.

Series in which leading performers and songwriters talk to John Wilson about the album that made them or changed them.

Recorded in front of a live audience at the Â鶹Éç's iconic Maida Vale Studios, each edition includes two episodes - the A-side and B-side.

In the A-side, Emeli talks to John Wilson.

She recalls her debut album 'Our Version of Events', the UK's biggest selling record of 2012 which spent more consecutive weeks in the British charts than any other debut album, breaking a record held for 50 years by The Beatles.

Featuring the singles Next To Me, Heaven, Clown and Read all About It, the album made her a household name and she was the only artist to perform at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics.

Our Version of Events went on to win the BRIT Award for Album of the Year and Emeli was named Best British Female Artist.

In the B-side of the programme, it's the turn of the audience to ask the questions.

Producer: Edwina Pitman

First broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio 4 in November 2017.
