Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today they catch up with musician, singer and songwriter John Grant.

Since releasing his debut solo album 'Queen Of Denmark' in 2010, John has released a string of solo and live albums and collaborated with a range of artists including Elbow, CMAT, Tracey Thorn and Midlake. His latest project sees him collaborating with award-winning director and choreographer Jonathan Watkins and the Royal Ballet. John has written and is performing new songs for a brand new contemporary ballet based on Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel 'A Single Man.' The ballet - also titled 'A Single Man' - is being premiered at Manchester International Festival this month with John performing his songs live. He joins Mark and Stuart to tell them more about it.

Also on the show... Matt Everitt joins live from Cardiff to tell Mark and Stuart all about Oasis' first reunion show in Cardiff last night.

Plus... a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started, and long-running feature 鈥楾he Chain鈥� which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.
