About this episode

The episode features an analysis of Marianne Faithfull's album 'Broken English' with guest Jude Rogers discussing her life and music.

The CAT Club presents a long playing vinyl record: MARIANNE FAITHFULL – BROKEN ENGLISH with special guest JUDE ROGERS Marianne Faithfull’s brilliant album, 'Broken English' from 1979, isn’t pretty and it was never meant to be. It consists of wracked, haunting tales, told over a hypnotic mesh of throbbing synths & wrecked guitars. Our special guests was journalist, arts critic, broadcaster and Guardian music reviewer Jude Rogers. Jude spent time with the great lady in 2018 and made a superb Radio Four show, ‘Paris With Marianne,’ about her extraordinary life. Jude was joined on The CAT Club stage by our very own Amanda Cooke in the interviewer’s chair. After the event Jude went on record to say that: “I was interviewed by the brilliant regular attendee Amanda Cook, who was better than 99% of the journalists and bigwigs I’ve encountered at major festivals.” A splendid time was had by all. This event took place on 12th March 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
