» Music: Mark Chadwick

A Piece of Me: Levellers frontman Mark Chadwick chats about his debut solo album. Jeff Hemmings reports.

But for the last few years Chadwick has been looking to do a solo album, an opportunity to bring to the fore another side to his songwriting talents that aren’t wholly suitable for the strident folk-rock of his main band.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
