Robert Forster

Marc Riley has a live session from Robert Forster, featuring his full touring band.

Robert Forster brings his full touring band in for tonight's live session. He's got a new download only single Love Is Where It Is out now.

Robert Forster is best known for penning indie anthems Streets Of Your Town and Cattle and Cane as the creative driving force behind protagonists of 1980s jangle-pop, The Go-Betweens. Then for releasing a string of solo albums in the 1990s and temporarily reforming the Go-Betweens in the 2000s.

Forster has since settled into life as a solo artist, his latest album being 2015's Songs to Play. Touring the UK to mark ten years since the death of fellow Go-Between Grant McLennan, Robert Forster will perform live in session before taking the stage for his Manchester gig.
