Oh to be in England… This week the legend that is ANNE DUDLEY, string arranger to ABC, Malcolm McLaren, Pet Shop Boys and the pop elite, joins us in the Bigmouth Bunker. Listen up as Anne discusses her Life In Pop™, how she helped create Careless Whisper and Getting Away With It, and her new album ‘Anne Dudley Plays The Art Of Noise’… on piano? Hold tight for an exclusive live rendition of Moments In Love on the hopelessly out-of-tune studio joanna. 

PLUS Mojo and Guardian journo SOPHIE HARRIS joins Anne, Siân and Anne to discuss ‘Millie Jackson Exposed’, in which the potty-mouthed diva is lovingly reupholstered by producer Steve Levine. And our guests choose the tunes and books they're taking to the beach. It's your own personal Club Tropicana.
