BBC Sounds

For music and pop culture lovers looking for an authentic and light-hearted take on the week in music... with broadcasters and music fanatics Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw.

Sidetracked with Annie and Nick

For Sidetracked’s first ever Christmas party, Annie and Nick are joined by singer SELF ESTEEM, Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso, comedian Joanne McNally and BBC Music Correspondent Mark Savage, at their favourite Irish pub.
 
With the festive season in full swing, Annie and Nick ask their guests why music and Christmas are so intrinsically linked. And although it’s full of joy, why does Christmas music have the power to make people feel devastatingly sad? Plus, Femi plays the piano in public for the very first time, Annie takes on the role of Santa and Joanne talks about her brief time at the top of the Irish music charts.

Sidetracked by Christmas

Annie and Nick are joined by Robert Smith to review the year in music. He’s the lead singer of The Cure, one of the UK’s most influential bands ever - they’ve headlined Glastonbury 4 times, sold over 35 million albums, and their 2024 album, Songs of a Lost World, was one of the most talked about records on Sidetracked this year. 
 
2024 was the year of the pop girlies, with Charli XCX and Chappell Roan dominating the charts and the discourse – Annie and Nick ask Robert what he thinks of it all. And the debate around ticket pricing reached boiling point this year after Oasis fans were blindsided by their use of dynamic pricing, who should take responsibility? Plus, Robert talks about releasing new music for the first time in 16 years, shares his real thoughts about that viral clip from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame red carpet, and reveals his favourite star.
