James McAvoy

From Shameless to X-Men, Atonement and His Dark Materials…James McAvoy seems to have mastered his craft in-front of the camera - so has decided to try his hand at calling the shots. His directorial debut, California Schemin', sees two chaps from Dundee in Scotland pretend to be American rappers to land a record deal. A story that sounds stranger than fiction - but is true. So now seemed like the perfect time to hear about the music that inspires him.

Love it! But it’s unavailable way too often. Don’t know if this is a BBC problem or a US one.
Love it but....
