Craig has a session from bluesman Big Boy Bloater, a man at the top of his game.

Big Boy Bloater - a man at the top of his game - is in session on tonight's show.
Described by Jools Holland as 'one of the greatest Blues men of our time', Craig couldn't agree more.
Bloater has played guitar for contemporary artists such as Paloma Faith and Imelda May. And he continues to be a much sought after session player, as well as being the guitarist du jour for visiting Blues, R&B and rock 'n' roll legends.

Craig will also be hearing from another Secret Soul Boy or Girl, which in the past has included actors, comedians, sports folk.
