The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny

Who would play at your dream festival? Shaun Keaveny's got a lifetime of festival moments (well, the ones he can remember) to draw on as each episode he guides a music-loving guest to share their 5 favourite acts to see on stage in a field somewhere. From the first band waking up your senses to that emotional sunset slot and the all-important headliner. Other fantasy festival essentials will be covered too, from choice snacks to tent skills (ha! Celebrities pitching their own tents? No chance...) and of course, are we gonna need a fancy toilet? The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny is brought to you by Sony Music Commercial Group UK and is produced by Natalie Jamieson for Cup & Nuzzle.

Rag’n’Bone Man – Bacon, Rum & The Power of No

December 6, 2022 • 60 mins

Turns out Rag’n’Bone Man – aka Rory Graham – is just as likely to be serving bacon baps at his kids’ rugby club, as he is headlining arenas. He’s also a dab hand at making pasties and killer pop choruses, as he shares a life-long appreciation for folk and americana, hip-hop and soul music. He’s also got some sage advice for setting social boundaries, and when it’s OK to not say sorry. fender.com/TheLineUp Learn more about your ad ...

Johnny Marr (Part 1) – Babysitters, Blues & Transcendence

November 29, 2022 • 51 mins

From forming The Smiths, to working with The The, Pet Shop Boys, Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, not to mention his solo work, sure, Johnny Marr is a bit talented. Musically transfixed from an early age, so much so that his mum sometimes used department store guitar areas as an ad hoc babysitting service (different times, best intentions), that curiosity remains happily intact. You can’t edit an in-depth chat about transcenden...

Live at Latitude ’22: Groove Armada – Chances, Legends & Tofu Pig

July 26, 2022 • 33 mins

They had us at ‘cocktails with Elton’, and ‘tofu pig’. A packed-out Listening Post tent at Suffolk’s Latitude Festival saw Shaun welcome Tom Findlay and Andy Cato, aka Groove Armada, for a summery saunter through their music memories. There was that time of frantic hoovering at their studio in case Madonna turned up, waiting for feedback from Bryan Ferry, and tearing the roof off multiple times with their live sets.
