Stuart Maconie presents solo, with a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today, best-selling author Ian Rankin joins Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s been enjoying and the record that means ‘everything’ to him.

A crime-writing supremo and music fan, Ian is famed for his Inspector Rebus novels. His latest project sees him completing the work of fellow crime-writer William McIlvanney. Ian tells Stuart all about it as well as sharing some of his favourite songs.

Also on the show... a whole host of quality radio items including 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend – and The Chain, our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music setting you up for a Sunday, including tracks from Teenage Fanclub, Brittany Howard, Self Esteem, Nick Drake, Jungle, Elastica, Nas, Loose Ends, Orlando Weeks and Joy Division.
