I try my best to avoid the trappings of traditional masculinity but my wife has just asked me a singular and innocuous question about Ocean Colour Scene. I'm sorry my love. Welcome to your Saturday Lecture. The subject? Britain's most underappreciated band. The year is 1996...

Asking questions is what got us into this mess! Now I have to start again. The year is 1996, and Birmingham's very own Ocean Colour Scene, 7 years after forming, are about to give The Riverboat Song to the world. Enter media monstrosity Chris Evans (not that one)....
