What's in Vernon's Vault today?

John Power from Cast and The La's chooses his Tracks Of My Years all week. And Vernon dips into the beloved BBC Archive for Vernon's Vault.

John Power from Cast and The La's chooses his Tracks Of My Years all week. Also Vernon dips into the beloved BBC Archive for Vernon's Vault, and two new contestants take on Vernon's mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top.

Born in Allerton, Liverpool, in 1967, John Power didn't pick up a guitar until his mid-teens when, encouraged by Lee Mavers, he started playing bass with The La's. He was part of the band from 1986 to 1991, including playing on their classic There She Goes, before leaving to form Cast. Cast released four albums before splitting in 2002, then reformed in 2010 and have released music and toured regularly ever since. Last year, they celebrated thirty years since their debut album All Change, as well as supporting Oasis on their huge reunion tour, including Wembley Stadium, Heaton Park, Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Croke Park in Dublin, Murrayfield in Edinburgh – plus New Jersey and LA in the USA.

Cast are releasing their eighth studio album Yeah Yeah Yeah at the end of January and playing some small UK shows around the release of the new album in association with local record stores.
