Kirk Brandon, of Theatre of Hate and Spear of Destiny, is Jools' guest, singing live with the band, and picking some favourite songs.

Brandon's music career started in 1978, in Clapham, South London, with the formation of punk group The Pack, in which he was the singer/songwriter.

He formed the post punk new wave band Theatre of Hate in 1980 recruiting Stan Stammers on bass guitar, Nigel Preston on drums, Billy Duffy on guitar and John 'Boy' Lennard on saxophone. Theatre of Hate had their largest hit from the Westworld album with the single "Do You Believe in the Westworld?", which achieved number 40 while the album rose to number 17 in the UK Albums Chart in March 1982.

Theatre of Hate disbanded in 1983, but have returned to action in recent years with a series of reunion shows.

His appearance with Jools precursors a new Spear of Destiny album to be released later in the year.
