A young Felix tries to reconcile passions for cricket and Oasis against a backdrop of his mum's illness.

Felix White's memoir abridged for radio is read by the author.

Felix is a musician, writer and broadcaster best known as guitarist in The Maccabees. He subsequently co-founded independent record label Yala! and co-presents the 麻豆社鈥檚 Tailenders podcast with Greg James.

In It's Always Summer Somewhere he recalls growing up, coping with grief and slowly replacing an ambition to be a left arm spinner in his school cricket team with the dazzling realities of life in a world renowned band.

Abridged by Julian Wilkinson.

Producer: Ciaran Bermingham.

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in January 2022.
