Lloyd Cole is back in Australia with a new tour, The Retrospective - playing the Lloyd Cole songbook 1983-1996. Lloyd will be performing songs exclusively from this classic period, spanning his time as the lead singer of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions as well as his subsequent and substantial solo work. He's joined on tour by his son Will. Lloyd last visited the Inside Sleeve in 2014, when he was touring his self released Standards album. The success of that release has seen renewed interest in his earlier work and the Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Collected Recordings 1983-1989 Box Set has just been repressed. Lloyd joins me in session and we chat about Bowie, Nile Rodgers and his love of analog synthesizers.

The quintet all live in different parts of the world, but their travel regime sees them spending more time together than at home.
