Last year, The Libertines celebrated 20 years of their debut album with a huge show at London's Wembley Arena and Radio X marked the milestone with a special podcast.
The seven-episode series, hosted by Radio X’s Sunta Templeton, will lifted the lid on the recording process of the era-defining debut album through interviews with Carl, Peter, John and Gary, plus James Endeacott (the A&R who discovered the band) and Anthony Thornton (the band’s biographer).
Listeners can hear stories from before the sell-out shows, before the world tours, before the massive singles, before the headlines, before the highs and before the fall outs.
All seven episodes of Up The Bracket - 20 Years of The Libertines are available now, exclusively on Global Player.
