An Evening with Melanie C

An exclusive in-conversation, celebrating National Album Day.

This special event is hosted by Classic Album Sundays, the world’s most popular album listening event. Melanie C is a much-loved British pop icon and member of the era-defining 90s girl group the Spice Girls: she has inspired a whole generation with her craft and sold over 100 million records world-wide. Not only is she is Album Champion for this year's National Album Day, celebrating artist icons, she released her ninth studio album, Sweat, earlier this year, her most euphoric record to date, and is midway through a world headline tour.

Melanie talks to DJ and Classic Album Sundays founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy about her astonishing career and music, with playback of tracks from the albums that have inspired her along the way and soundtracked her life.

She has just released her ninth studio album, Sweat, her most euphoric record to date, and started a world headline tour.
