Series 65: Episode 5

Jools welcomes guitarist and singer from Austin, Texas, Gary Clark Jr, to perform a couple of tracks from his album JPEG Raw, which features the likes of Stevie Wonder and George Clinton, and was born out of a renewed love for west African funk.\n\nFrom Manchester, Courteeners make their debut on the show during a UK tour to perform two songs, including the title track of their latest album, Pink Cactus Cafe, a name that comes from the idea of 'escaping to sunnier climates'.\n\nAnother debutante, this time from Deptford, is singer-songwriter Rosie Lowe, following the release of her album Lover, Other, described as a sonic collage that includes sound snippets of her surroundings from walks in Spain and trips to Sri Lanka and Devon.\n\nJools also welcomes Biig Piig, an artist born in Cork, Ireland, and raised in Spain, who performs her single Favourite Girl, taken from her highly anticipated debut album set for release next year.\n\nCompleting the musical line-up is singer-songwriter David Gray, who first performed on the show on the first ever series of Later… and has since returned a few times. He and vocalist Talia Rae perform their new song Plus & Minus together at the piano, taken from his album Dear Life. Jools also chats to David about the album and that first performance on the show.\n\nJools also welcomes at the piano legendary singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading to chat about her album How Did This Happen and What Does It Now Mean, as well as her first experience composing a classical symphony.
