NSTS Episode 109 – Chalk Circle Frontman Chris Tait

I was delighted to be joined in studio this week by Chalk Circle vocalist and guitarist Chris Tait. I listened to him a lot as a teen (still do), so it was great to have him in for a conversation about his playlist AND my favourite Chalk songs. 

I won’t spoil it, but Chris does something really cool with his playlist here. Every song has a place on the list for a very specific reason, and I was impressed at how the whole thing was carried out. Great stories too, including the fact that he actually argued against having Chalk Circle’s biggest hit, “April Fool”, as a single – he didn’t even want it on the record! Really great conversation.    

Tait’s playlist:

Bay City Rollers – Saturday Night

Led Zeppelin – Black Dog

Rush – Working Man

The Ramones – I Wanna Be Sedated

The Skids – Into The Valley

Echo & The Bunnymen – The Cutter

Talk Talk – Life’s What You Make It

David Bowie – Space Oddity

Matthew Sweet – Divine Intervention

Blinker The Star – September Already

Earth, Wind, & Fire – September

Vullpeck – Dean Town
