Huw catches up with Adrianne Lenker as she performs in session for the show, after the release of her latest album Bright Future.

Known for fronting American band Big Thief, with whom she has released five studio albums and toured globally, Bright Future marks Adrianne's fifth studio album as a solo artist - a discography going back to when she was just fourteen. Growing up predominately in Minnesota, USA, she formed Big Thief whilst in New York, releasing their first record Masterpiece in 2016. She recently completed a Uk tour, including two nights at the Barbican Centre in London as well as shows in Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol.

Plus Huw has the exclusive first play of a brand new single from Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap and we take a deep dive into songwriting with academic Daniel Green in 6 Musicology.
