Graham McPherson (better known as Suggs) is
preparing to release his first solo album in Autumn – the result of four years of writing in collaboration with old Madness buddy/publisher Mike Barson – but he doesn’t rule out a future Madness reunion: “Being solo can be a lonely business. You need friends in the world, don’t you” he says…many companies are spending time and money ensuring they develop the right product for the children’s market.

OASIS Roll With It VARIOUS ARTISTS The Show OST Roll With It by Oasis is Single Of The Week. Another “uplifting blast of cruising rock’n’roll” with Liam on “top vocal form”. It’s an “absolute winner” and the “perfect taster” for the album Morning Glory, says Music Week. Album Of The Week goes to The Show OST compilation featuring big names like LL Cool J, Warren G and Mary J Blige as well as some “stunning” offerings from lesser-known contributors.

What's your favourite single/track of all time? Tumbling Dice - for some reason I find it incredibly emotional, joyous and uplifting. A total classic.
5 SUPERGRASS
MAKING THE GAMES There was plenty of British music in the London Olympics 2012 opening ceremony to make us proud - but look closer, and there was an industry presence too. BPI communications queen Lynne McDowell played a role in the amazing scenes at Stratford's Olympic Park last Friday, boogying in the massive dance-off near the end of Danny Boyle's extravaganza. And that's not all: a proud McDowell also danced in the 1960s section of the ‘Thanks Tim’ section - celebrating the inventor of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee. That's right, a BPI exec celebrating both British music and the advent of the internet. Now there's a sight for sore eyes.

What's your karaoke speciality? Like A Prayer - having had the pleasure of seeing Madonna live many times, this still gets me going.
Which song was (or would be) the 'first dance' at your wedding? Would be Zing Went the Strings of My Heart for obvious reasons plus it's just a terrific song.
Which track would you like played at your funeral? Barbara on Rufus Wainwright's new disc Out of the Game. There would not be a dry eye in the house after that!
