BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 19th August 2024

6 Music's Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with major artists revealing the pivotal moments and songs that shaped their lives and their careers.

"The great myth was that I was always trying to get out, and that's complete rubbish."

Bernard Butler talks about the difficulties in finding his tribe when younger, being spat at for playing the violin while at school, the unusual working process when making an album with Jessie Buckley, and how he absolutely, definitely, completely wasn't ready for his departure from Suede.

Music includes The Velvet Underground, The Smiths, Madonna, and Suede.
