6 Music's Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with artists. Today, it's Britain's Top Light Entertainer and Singer turned avian artist, Jim Moir.

Jim talks about Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie being his first musical loves (and meeting Bowie at Top Of The Pops), finding the right music to accompany his painting (spoiler 鈥� it鈥檚 usually The Fall), and providing backing vocals on a Morrissey track... all soundtracked by the likes of Henry Cow, Captain Beefheart, Geordie Greep, Roxy Music, and more.
