TOP 5 JAZZED-UP COVERS ft. Hugh Carr
explicitThe prodigal son returns to NO ENCORE - let's just hope he's not too big for his boots now, eh? Donegal icon, Football Special enthusiast, and now very much daily 2FM drivetime sensation Hugh Carr joins Dave and Adam to quite literally jazz things up for this week's Top 5 - think big-band, orchestral, 1940s-style reinterpretations of songs you likely already know. We also have plenty of news to go through, and we'd love your most determined prayers ahead of this weekend's Patreon batch recording - seriously, we don't know if we can handle another technical glitch that robs us of our hard work. And remember, it costs just €5 a month to get access to weekly bonus episodes, with new editions of Album Club and Film Club currently in production, not to mention a forthcoming quiz - hit up patreon.com/noencore if you're in the mood! As for this week's breakdown... ACT ONE (12:47): Fontaines D.C. provide a jazzed-up cover of their own, WU LYF appear to be back, Drake says perception is reality, David Draiman gets Disturbed by some household issues, Steven Graham gets emotional about Bruce Springsteen, WWE gets in the ring with some live concerts, KISS Korner makes a comeback, and Adam pays respects to late producer Kartell - it's the news.
