Series 3 of Oh! Brother brings with it a whole raft of exciting guests, starting principally with James Brown, music author and journalist. The gang talk about, among other things, the art of sneaking into gigs, the trick to getting band members to talk to you, and as a special treat, our Paul shows off his Scouse accent.

JOHN ROBB - The North Will Rise Again

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.

This week on the show, broadcaster Danny Kelly joins Messrs Hanley to discuss The Fall. They swap stories of Mark, the difficulties of placing the band in culture and the internet's one selling point, bringing Fall fans together.

DANNY KELLY - The Very Famous Sports Reporter Is Talking

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.

MARCIA SCHOFIELD - Anecdotes and Antidotes in B#

This week on Oh! Brother, Steve and Paul talk to David Nolan, author, producer and the man behind "I Swear I Was There". The guys talk about the famous night above (or below, if you're Steve) the Free Trade Hall, and the "Mark E Smith Impersonation League" is born.

DAVID NOLAN - Detective Instinct

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.
