LaFontaines frontman hosts new music show
One More Tune, a spin-off of TUNE, BBC Scotland’s youth music brand, is a new eight-part multi-platform music entertainment series presented by charismatic, unapologetically bold frontman of Motherwell band, The LaFontaines, Kerr Okan.
Having launched on BBC iPlayer it gets its first outing on the BBC Scotland channel on Saturday, October 31 with two episodes back to back.
For the first episode of this new quickfire music chat show, Kerr is joined by leader of the new school generation’ YUNGBLUD who shares the songs and stories which have shaped his life and career.
Declaring his love for Freddie Mercury; reminiscing about hearing Rage Against the Machine in his dad’s guitar shop growing up and revealing the tunes that make him “want to get naked” and that “remind him of Glasgow”, One More Tune uncovers the soundtrack to YUNGBLUD’s extraordinary life in music so far.
Along the way YUNGBLUD chats about the motivation behind his new music, explaining: “The first album was so angry because I was kind of writing it against people who misunderstood me and judged me and didn't get me my whole life. But how can I be angry now because I have a whole community of people that uplift me?”
Kerr is joined in this second episode by Scottish star Sharon Rooney, best known for My Mad Fat Diary, Dumbo, Zapped and much more.
Kerr talks to Sharon about the songs and stories which have shaped her exciting TV and Film career.
We learn that Dougie MacLean’s Caledonia makes her feel homesick and Gerry Cinnamon’s Belter reminds her of the favourite character she’s ever played.
One More Tune is on BBC Scotland on Saturday, October 21 at 11.30pm.
