Mark and Stuart hear from actor Ewen Bremner about his latest film role as infamous record label founder Alan McGee

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today they hear from Scottish actor Ewen Bremner. Famed for his role as Spud in Danny Boyle’s film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel Trainspotting, he began his acting career in the 1980’s. In his latest role he plays the infamous founder of Creation Records, Alan McGee, in forthcoming film ‘Creation Stories’. With a script by Irvine Welsh, the biographical drama charts the rise of McGee and the record label.

Creation Records was an important part of the indie scene in the 1980’s and 90’s with bands including Primal Scream. Alan McGee famously signed Oasis to the label after seeing them play in Glasgow in 1993.
