Manic Street Preachers and The Wombats

Top of the Pops

Available for 36 days

Its nearly 40 years since the Welsh band Manic Street Preachers formed and during that time they have become one of the most successful groups in the UK. They are back with their 15th studio album and Nicky Wire from the band will be telling us all about it. Also, we hear from the band The Wombats. They hail from Liverpool and have just returned with their sixth album. We also feature new music from Louis Dunford, Punk Rock Factory, Party Next Door, Sabrina Carpenter and AJ Tracey. Plus, we play all of the top five most popular songs and find out if Lola Young can hang on as the UK's favourite. Presenter: Kim Robson Producer: Alan Rowett (Photo: Manic Street Preachers on Later... with Jools Holland, series 65, episode two. Credit: Michael Leckie)
