Season 31 2008

Tonight the peerless Later . . . celebrates its 200th edition with a show that gleams with brilliant vocalists. Top of the bill are Radiohead, performing songs from their mesmerising album In Rainbows, which at the time of writing sits atop the US album charts. From Thom Yorke's dolorous tones to the breathy pop of Canadian singer/songwriter Feist, whose pretty 1234 found fame as the music on the iPod Nano advert. Then there's Chan Marshall - better known as Cat Power - whose smoky voice could match Sinéad O'Connor for sheer beauty. And if that's not enough, soul legend Dionne Warwick will showcase tracks from her new gospel album

Jools Holland presents a diverse mix of new musical talent and established artists. Morrissey sings tracks from his upcoming solo greatest hits collection. Brighton based Indie chart stars British Sea Power play songs from album Do You Like Rock Music including recent single Waving Flags. Also includes double MOBO winner Nate James, Stockholm's newest pop star Ida Maria and Cuban born Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade.

London-based five-piece Hot Chip return for their second visit to the studio to play tracks from new album Made in the Dark, while Sheryl Crow performs songs from her first record since 2005. Soul combo Sugarush Beat Company also appear and Liza Minnelli duets with Jools, before chatting about her forthcoming return to the London stage in May.

Welsh singer Duffy performs songs from her debut album Rockferry, and Steve Earle showcases tracks from Washington Square Serenade, accompanied by his wife Allison Moorer. Indie-pop combo MGMT, US rockers We Are Scientists and singer Martina Topley-Bird also appear.

Supergrass return to the studio to showcase songs from their forthcoming album Diamond Hoo Ha, while New York-based indie band Vampire Weekend play tracks from their eponymous debut. Singer-songwriter Devon Sproule and lo-fi rock duo the Kills will also be in the studio, and former Amen Corner vocalist Andy Fairweather Low teams up with influential British jazz trombonist Chris Barber and his 11-piece band.
