Since the release of their first album in 2003 Marconi Union have stealthily developed an international reputation for their unique fusion of ambient electronica and live instrumentation.

They have recorded for a number of labels and released four highly acclaimed albums as well as contributing to innumerable compilations, art projects, film and TV.

In 2010 founder members, Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley invited Duncan Meadows to join them and they continue to explore new ideas and sounds.

Join Pete Donaldson on Absolute Radio, weeknights from 8pm. He'll be bringing you loads of great music and comedy guests, plus his album of the week and live sessions. He doesn't always get chance to play the full interview on-air (because he muffs up) but here's your chance to hear the interviews in all of their unedited glory.
