Synopsis
Lauren Laverne with Tom Jones live in session in the 6Music studios. The legendary singer has been working with Kings Of Leon producer Ethan Johns on his new album Praise & Blame which is released on July 26th. The features reworkings of tunes from the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker and Susan Werner and finds the great man in a reflective mood.
Plus we catch up with Sam O'Kell, a man who is aiming to prove via the wonderful Radio 4 series So You Want To Be A Scientist that gigs are less crowded in the mosh pit than you might think. Today he tells us all about his gig pressure suit that he hopes will prove his theory.
