To celebrate the holiday season, it's a festive Q&amp;A this week on Oh! Brother, chaired by the inimitable dannyno, Fall expert and enthusiast. The guys try their best to answer questions about events they were definitely present at, and have even written about, and in some cases, actually remember. Merry Christmas from all of us at Oh! Brother.

Episode 3 of this series sees Marcia Schofield join Steve and Paul. The former keyboardist and current doctor speaks about her time in The Fall, the infamous Hey! Luciani and we learn how a life of touring is like constantly going on holiday, without any of the fun of being on holiday.

Series 3 of Oh! Brother brings with it a whole raft of exciting guests, starting principally with James Brown, music author and journalist.

JAMES BROWN - Mere Pseud Mag Ed

Coming to you live from a bustling Manchester ale house (if you couldn't tell), four of the Falls most influential members convene for a retrospective into their time in the band. With apologies to fans of high fidelity. And Geoff Travis. And Mike Finney for forgetting his surname. And Kelly's (the venue). Memory not guaranteed.

MARC RILEY & CRAIG SCANLON - Live from the Old Folks Home

Tales from one of Britain's most influential post-punk bands, The Fall. From the rhythm section that brought you Hex Enduction Hour, brothers Paul and Steve Hanley provide insight and anecdotes from their time in the band, along with interviews with other members, people involved with the band and fans from the world of music and beyond.
