Disappointed from their album. Our next artist is a huge success in her

native France and is being recognised all over the globe for

the extraordinary talent that she is. Will you welcome, Christine and

the Queens. # I will die

before Methusalah # So I'll fight sleep

with Ammonia # And every morning

with eyes all red # I'll miss them for

all the tears they shed # Trample over beauty

while singing their thoughts # When they said "Je suis

plus folle que toi" # Can't help it

if we're tilted # Pire qu'une simple moitie

on compte a demi-demi # Pile sur un des bas

cotes comme des origamis # Le bras tendu parait casse tout

n'est qu'epis et eclis # Et une creepy song

en etendard qui fait APPLAUSE.

Fantastic dance. Really wonderful. Christine and The Queens. So, in

this area here is one of the most incredible collaborations I have

seen. We have Marcus Mumford, Baaba Maal and Matt from Beatenberg.

Welcome. Great album. There is a lot of stuff. A collaboration often

means two people. How does it start? It probably starts with Johann from

The Very Best. Friends of ours. We met in Australia and ended up

drinking quite a few beers together. Started talking about collaborating.

He introduced us to Baaba Maal. We made a song together in a studio in

London a year and a half ago. When it came to going to South Africa for

the first time, we wanted to put together a tour that we could

record. We called Beatenberg and asked them to come and play at a

festival in Scotland and hang out. Did not look back. You made it sound

very simple. But there are a four artist altogether. When were you

aware of these other artists? I first met them when they came to

Senegal. He was talking about how travelling is nourishing for

musicians. They were planning to go to Africa. We said the first step to

go in Africa was South Africa because they speak English. They

know Mumford Sons very well. It was an opportunity for me to work

with these guys. It was really good. There are a lot of strong artists.

How does it work? Did you all argue? We sent a lot of nice e-mails. Not

speaking under any circumstances! Everybody wanted to be generous with

their energy. Becoming the servant of the song, which is what musicians

do. Marcus, it must be different for you to have this many people on

stage with you. Yes, although when we started as a band, there were 13,

and we got rid of the others! We definitely grew up as a band

collaborating. We get a lot of stimulation from being around

different musicians. We sounded really inspiring. We gave ourselves

a limited amount of time to record. We had to make fast decisions. Two

days. That is short. That is like a record from 1931. It gives it an

urgency. Tell us why Baaba Maal is so special? He can, grow to the

studio and sleep for the first 12 hours! -- Eakin come. He appears to

be asleep. Then he will wake up, drink a bottle of wine and smash at

the greatest take you have ever heard. We wake up the next morning

and think, Diaz done this amazing thing. We have two follow that. Will

you be going on tour with this? Yes. It is an extraordinary

collaboration. We will hear more Later.

APPLAUSE. Thank you Marcus Mumford, Baaba Maal and Matt from Beatenberg.

We sauntered to this side of the studio to enjoy Son Little.

# For once, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# Let me, let me ease your worried mind

# Let's not waste anymore of our precious time

# For once, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# Let your hair down and pull the curtain

# Let me see, let me see you in the light

# Just lay down, mere words are worthless

# Let me hold, let me hold you through the night

# Said, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# For once, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# Said, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# For once, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# Let the others run, run, run, run, run around.#

# Said, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# For once, baby, won't you lay, lay down

# Let the others run, run, run, run, run around.#

# My downtown head and high-rise eyes

# Does it matter my heart is so suddenly useless?

# With your down-hold heart and skirt undone

# Stand by the man that you call home

# Does it matter my heart is so suddenly useless?

# Usandiyese, usanditole, ooh usandinyoze

# Usandiyese, usanditole, ooh usandinyoze

# Usandiyese, usanditole, ooh usandinyoze

# Usandiyese, usanditole, ooh usandinyoze

The Very Best, Beatenberg, Mumford and Sons. Before that, we enjoyed

Son Little. Now, an amazing artist who often will go around collecting

folk songs from all over the strangest and most wonderful places.

He has returned triumphant from the radio to folk awards. We welcome Sam

Lee! From the radio 2 folk awards. # Where the Mavis

and the turtle doves # Where the Mavis

and the turtle doves # When the Mavis

and the turtle doves # By royal decree, listen to me

# Rest here in my garden # Rest here in my garden

# Rest here in my garden will. Without question one of the greatest

voices of the 21st century, Gregory Porter! The song, Take Me To The

Alley. Before that, we enjoy Sam Lee. Great to have you here. He was

great, wasn't he? That music, how old was that song? Hundreds. What

period? We think 400, 500 years. That is properly doing an old song.

You collect old songs and you have gone and listened to birdsong. Is

that what you do in the woods? This time of year, for at least six

weeks, the nightingales singing in the south, and I spent many nights

singing with them and inviting guest musicians to come with a very small

audience. This is right up my street. In your piano! Sing with the

birds, it works, you have to wait and leave a space. Thank you for

joining us, Sam Lee, one of the great new voices of British folk

music. A great collector of songs. Lovely, diverse show this evening.

We welcome back, from France, the marvellous Christine and the Queens.

# I lost my voice, I think I'm cursed

# So that your eyes could get brighter

# I'll share it with the wind I tamed

# Narcissus is back from under water and kisses his lips again

# And has his whole lips to drink

# The water, water is so cold

# Now watch, here's everything you miss

# And has his whole lips to drink

APPLAUSE. Christine and The Queens. Now a wonderful new artist from

Philadelphia, it is Son Little. # When my heart aches I'm

drowning, pain won't go away # And in my cups brown

fills my brain, won't go away # These five yellow girls

all on parade asphyxiate # Still stuck in a cage tryna

ply my trade, won't go away # And I'm afraid your

love will blow me away # Am I dumb, all cos

I numb the pain? # When shadows creep

across my floor, won't go away # You've had enough but still want

more, won't go away # My engine gunning thunderbirds

Asphalt wanna race? # Still trapped in a box tryna

clear my name, won't go away # And I'm afraid, your

love will blow me away # Am I done, all cos

I numb the pain? # This Afghan kush we're

bubbling won't burn away # My moon, my queen been gone

since May, so I lie awake # My easy death in ecstasy,

my hands still shake # When my heart aches I'm

drowning pain, won't go away # And I'm afraid your

love will blow me away # Am I done, all cos

I numb the pain? # And I'm afraid your

love will blow me away # Am I done, all cos

I numb the pain? # "Hey, it's time

to get smart" # If you could only

last for the night # Why don't you get to bed

like everybody else? # (Shh!)

# You asked me # And I can take

what's coming to me" # But, "We're

all getting on # And something's

going to get us before too long" # Nooooo

# The noisy days are over # Why don't you get to bed

like everybody else? # The noisy days are over

# And here we are instead # Why don't you take

the break like everybody APPLAUSE.

Field Music. From there new album. Before that we enjoyed Son Little.

But now I am going to talk to the man with the great talent. Gregory

Porter! You are sounding great. For your opening track, take me to the

alley, what inspired that song? My mother and my hair energy. -- her

energy. We would drive around the streets and look for people in need,

hungry people, people addicted to something, she would take them, try

to elevate them and bring them up. Her energy stays with me while I am

writing. I spoke to the other day. You said you had just got out of the

Jacuzzi. I said, James Bond lifestyle. You said, not really, my

three-year-old son is on my head! Yes, it is cool having my family

with me on tour. My son's energy and inspiration is definitely in the

music. We wrote a song together. What inspired you? What I do with my

writing. A little bit of old and something new. Sweet country love

song. You know what I mean? # Sweet country love song.

# From you to me. # Sweet country love song.

# A soothing melody. # From your country love song.

From you to me. # I've got that old feeling.

# Staring inside. # It comes with the music.

# And it fills me with pride. # From your sweet country love song.

# From you to me. # Won't somebody need me.

# Damn that old country road. # I want to go back.

# To the stories of old. # Stories of love.

# That bring me to sing. # Souls of friendship.

# I hear the voices. # Calling me.

# Oh and music. # Of your sweet melody.

# From your sweet country love song. # From you to me. As to. -- #.

The wonderful Gregory Porter! Sadly we have come to the end of the show.

We can hear one more number with Beatenberg, The Very Best, Baaba

Maal with Mumford Sons. # I don't want to turn away this

time. # Why don't you take

a different line # You don't have to

suffer for your art # You don't want to

vivisect your heart # But I won't deny

I love you helpless # You don't want to say

what you don't mean # You still want to play the silver

screen. # You cast your

shadows on the screen # You don't want to sing

what you can't sing # No, that's quite

a hard game to play # Where there is

a will there is a way # In the donning light I saw you

breaking. # But I won't deny

I love you helpless # In the dawning

light, I saw you pray # But I won't deny

I love you helpless Mumford Sons, bubbly mall, The
