    Graham and Charles discuss the Lemon Twigs and their enduring appeal. Though are they great pop but just not quite achieving the greatness they promise?

    Graham is delighted that Bradford’s cultural resurgence continues, especially the gigs at Bradford Live.

    Graham has been reading The Guardian foreign correspondent, Jason Burke's new book, The Revolutionists - The Story of the Extremists who Hijacked the 1970s.

    Charles reports on his recent visit to the Summer Season displays at York’s Castle Museum.

    Charles has been to both the Elvis Costello and Belle and Sebastian gigs in York and Halifax respectively as the two bands go on a nostalgia trip. But only one comes out on top.

    Graham has been listening to Paul McCartney's new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane and it shows he is still firing on all cylinders, nearly - at the age of 83.

    Two new cinema releases, Tuner (starring Leo Woodhall with a cameo from Dustin Hofmann) and The Christophers come under Charles and Graham’s restless gaze.

    Graham reports on Lence, the Harrogate rapper - who doesn't swear - and is now a legend on the Leeds spoken word scene.

    Graham talks up South London's monstrous indie dance rockers Fat Dog, whose new single may show an alarming mellowing of their fearsomely unhinged style.
