On this show I was joined by creative consultant Scott Jones who was responsible for putting together some of the 00s most iconic album covers and artwork, including Arctic Monkeys debut album for which Scott has put together an exhibition named Don’t Believe The Hype at the British Music Experience in Liverpool marking 20 years of the album with behind the curtain artefacts and much more. There’s also a Q&A at the exhibition on the 11th February which will be hosted by me with Scott, Andy Nicholson and cover star Chris McClure which should make for a great night of nostalgia.
