This week Andy Gill from Braintree in Essex outbid auction rivals to snap up a nightclub sign for a mere £320. Andy is a music fan, and the club in quesiton – Essex Barn nightclub – was where the young members of The Prodigy first met and formed before they got really famous.

So this week’s Now Playing (Sunday 31 May, 6-8pm) is all about YOUR music swag! We need you, darling listener, to tell us what music memorabilia do you have tucked away or on display?

Perhaps you managed to grab a drumstick lobbed into the crowd by Rush’s Neil Peart? Did you snaffle a gladioli petal courtesy of Morrissey circa 1983? Were you the person who took home Tony Wright’s stage towel at Terrorvision's Bradford St George’s Hall in 1995 (that was me, actually).

Nemone - sitting in for Tom Robinson - wants your music swag stories. Whether they are tall tales of snatching unique and priceless items from the stage, waiting backstage for an artist to sign a ticket stub, or buying a random bit of merchandise.

Whatever your best memento moment, Nemone wants to know the artist associate with it, but more importantly the story behind it.



You pick the music, so get your memorabilia-inspired suggestions to Nemone via the hashtag #Memorabilia6Music to help create a playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify and Rdio playlists.
