One of the best and most-loved comedians in the UK, Bill Bailey has pedigree when it comes to music. His live shows are centred on hilarious musical skits, whether he’s turning the BBC News theme tune into a rave banger or playing classical music on car horns.
As you’ll see below, his music listening is just as wide-ranging as his stand-up routines; a Talking Heads diehard who is also a Nordic metal fanatic, the punk who wells up when he hears the Cocteau Twins. For Bailey, music is a way of tapping back into your past. “Music plugs you into a whole bunch of emotions that you’re suddenly experiencing again,” he says.
