Stuart Maconie presents solo, with a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Following 6 Music's '80's Forever' day, Stuart plays some of his favourite tracks from that decade, including tunes from The Human League and Prefab Sprout. There's discussion about the merits of a Tuesday, making marmalade and the best way to cook gnocchi. Plus a selection of music old and new, with tracks from The Beta Band, Commodores, Moonchild Sanelly, The Divine Comedy, Astrud Gilberto, Justice, My Bloody Valentine, English Teacher, A Tribe Called Quest and more.

Plus long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.
