Jools welcomes, from Birmingham, Dexys Midnight Runners, who perform a couple of songs from their seventh album, LOVE, which was produced by David Holmes and offers a ‘series of deeply personal scenes and reckonings’. Jools also chats to frontman Kevin Rowland, and the band share one of their classic hits from 1982.

From Australia, singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett makes her debut on the show and performs two tracks from her album Creature of Habit, which 'marks a decisive new chapter in her musical evolution' and was written in the wake of a relocation from Australia to Los Angeles.

From Dublin, six-piece contemporary folk group Madra Salach appear ahead of their sold-out tour and perform their single Ribbon Factory, which is described by frontman Paul Banks as a 'uniquely Irish song and is wrought with anger and despair'.

South London collective Ibibio Sound Machine also join the line-up to perform Concept of Love, taken from their album Chopping Mountain – 'a powerful album, promoting love, unity and resistance through music'.

Born and raised in Bath, 19-year-old rising star Mulaa Joans makes her TV debut and performs the title track from her EP That Ain’t You, described as 'an unapologetic anthem tackling modern dating fatigue'.

Completing the line-up is the legendary singer-songwriter Elkie Brooks, known as the British queen of the blues, who this year celebrates 50 years in music. Jools chats to Elkie about the secret to her longevity, and together they perform the Bob Dylan classic Make You Feel My Love.
