Martin Compston's Happy Mix

Mayflies star Martin curates a mix, in celebration of the ѿý's 100th birthday

Martin Compston is the latest star to curate a Happy Mix for My Sounds, in celebration of the ѿý's 100th birthday.

Line of Duty actor Martin treats us to nostalgic songs that make him smile and upbeat indie pop bangers that he loves to bop to. His playlist is a varied selection, from Arctic Monkeys to Dion, The Rolling Stones to The Libertines, and The Killers to The Four Tops.

Martin stars in new drama 'Mayflies', which follows the story of Jimmy and Tully who, in the 1980s, ignite a brilliant friendship based on music, and the rebel spirit. 30 years on, Tully has the worst kind of news, and a request that will test their friendship, love, and loyalty to the limit.

Mayflies airs at 9pm on ѿý One on Wednesday 28th December and Thursday 29th December. Viewers in Scotland will get to see the drama a day earlier, as episode 1 airs on ѿý Scotland at 10pm on Tuesday 27th December, and episode 2 on Wednesday 28th.

To mark 100 years of the ѿý, some of the nation’s most loved figures have curated personalised music mixes for different moods as part of the My Sounds series. Search My Sounds in the Sounds app to subscribe and listen to mixes from the likes of Louis Theroux, Martin Freeman, Stacey Dooley, Alex Scott, Stephen Fry and more!
