Dermot O'Leary - 13/06/2009

Dermot O'Leary has an acoustic session from the inimitable Jarvis Cocker, who released his second solo album last month. There's also live music from Australian five-piece The Panics, who were first spotted playing a hotel gig by the Happy Mondays and subsequently signed to Little Big Man Records (which is owned by Pete Carroll and Monday's drummer Gaz Whelan). The Panics are intrinsically connected to the northwest of England through a music collection that includes The La's, Echo And The Bunnymen, Stone Roses and The Smiths. Erstwhile Factory owner, the late Tony Wilson was also a confirmed fan. Dermot is also joined by the intrepid explorer and former Python, Michael Palin, who picks some of his favourite tunes.
