The Love Song and Jon Fratelli

Jon Fratelli, lead singer of The Fratellis, chooses the Tracks of My Years. There's the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster.

Jon Fratelli, lead singer and guitarist from The Fratellis, chooses the Tracks of My Years. The Glasgow rock band rose to prominence in 2006 with a string of breakthrough hits, including 'Chelsea Dagger' and 'Whistle For The Choir'.

In addition to their new single, 'Need A Little Love', and album 'Half Drunk Under A Full Moon', The Fratellis recently announced they have recorded their own version of the disco anthem 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' to coincide with Scotland playing at this summer鈥檚 European Football Championship. Tartan Army supporters took the Baccara tune to their hearts after footage emerged of the national squad belting it out in the changing room following the dramatic shoot-out victory over Serbia that saw Scotland qualify for a tournament for the first time in 23 years. They are also due to embark on an intimate UK tour this September kicking off at La Belle Angele in Edinburgh.

The next two tracks Jon has chosen come from Roy Orbison and Paul Simon. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
