Marianne Faithfull

Mary Anne Hobbs is joined by singer Marianne Faithfull, who reveals the secrets of her longevity and creativity.

Mary Anne, meet Marianne.

One of the finest chanteuses of all time - Marianne Faithfull - guests on the show, revealing the secrets to her longevity and creativity. Her career began in 1964 with 'As Tears Go By', a top ten hit. Since then she has survived heroin, cocaine and nicotine addictions, homelessness, and character assassinations in the press.

Happily, her 20th album is out now and it's great! 'Give My Love To London' features collaborations with - in her words - "young blood", including Nick Cave and Anna Calvi.

Expect to be shocked, amused and educated by Marianne's guide to longevity ... And as ever Mary Anne will be playing our favourite tracks of the week - from the new new to the old old.
