Jim Irvin is joined in this episode by Kevin Brennan, the labour MP for Cardiff West, guitarist in parliamentary rock band MP4 and a solo artist in his own right, and Tom Gray, member of Gomez and founder of the #BrokenRecord campaign for fairer payments to musicians by streaming services.

The albums up for discussion are: Joan Armatrading - Joan Armatrading (1976), John Cale - Vintage Violence (1970) and Bergen White - For Women Only (1970).

Also discussed: the #BrokenRecord campaign's story so far, equitable remuneration, the lasting influence of community sing-songs, Glyn John's drum sound, is mastery overrated in music and why baroque pop didn't catch on.
