S1E9: Clare Maguire

Tom is joined by Brummie pop powerhouse, Clare Maguire, as they make a toast to the iconic French-Canadian chanteuse, Céline Dion. Clare brings Tom up to date on her early days going out in Birmingham through to sobriety and working with Mike Skinner and Fraser T Smith on her music. The pair discuss Clare’s Irish roots, her Dad’s love of The Corrs and the strange lack of fellow Midlanders in the music industry. Tom explains that Rihanna is the first female artist for 12 weeks to enter the Top 5 (a record since 1972) and Clare opens up about the struggles of being female artist, before choosing Céline Dion for all three (!) of her Aux Cable Selections.
