Nick’s Céline Dion Experience, Cardi B’s Tiny Desk, and Mercury Prize Predictions

Céline, steak tartare and tear gas: Nick’s just back from an unforgettable trip to Paris to see Céline Dion in concert, as well as witnessing the biggest protests France has seen in many years. What was it like to experience Céline's excellence and charisma irl? And what does it say about her power and influence that Emmanuel Macron was there on the eve of said protests?

In other music news, Cardi B has delivered one of the greatest Tiny Desk performances of all time, Miley has addressed criticism of her performance at the Hollywood Bowl, and it’s time for Annie and Nick’s final Mercury Prize predictions.

Plus (breaking news) the new Fontaines album is brilliant, but why is Liam Gallagher not on board?

And ahead of releasing his next single, Bash Croft has a big question for Annie and Nick.
