Lucy will appear on Later tonight with the Manic Street Preachers – singing the opening track (This Sullen Welsh Heart) from the Manics’ new album ‘Rewind The Film’.
Here’s a Facebook post Lucy made yesterday announcing the news:
We’re about an hour from Las Vegas airport, I’ll be jumping on a plane back home for a couple of days to sing with Manic Street Preachers on Jools Holland (tune in on Tuesday evening) and then I’ll be back for my show in LA on Thursday 10th. Really sorry I had to cancel the San Diego and Mesa show, I promise I didn’t take this decision lightly.
Well wish me luck and see you somewhere. Lucy x
Here’s the Later With Jools Holland show information page for s43e04:

Tuesday 8th October at 10pm, BBC Two
Line-up:
- Jake Bugg
- Manic Street Preachers
- Poliça
- Kacey Musgraves
- VV Brown
Series 43 Live Episode 4 of 8
DURATION: 30 MINUTESJoining Jools in the studio are Welsh rock and rollers Manic Street Preachers, who return with songs from their latest album ‘Rewind The Film’. This sees the band trade their electric guitars for a more stripped back sound.
Following the colossal success of his self-titled debut LP, 19-year-old Nottingham troubadour and Mercury Prize nominee Jake Bugg returns to Later with new tunes from his up coming Rick Rubin produced second album, ‘Shangri La’.
Ahead of the release of their second LP, critically acclaimed Minnesota indie quintet Poliça make their anticipated return to the studio. From Texas, new star of country music Kacey Musgraves will be performing a track from her album ‘Same Trailer Different Park’. Also in the studio, originally from Northampton and now based in London, VV Brown returns to the show with tracks from her ‘Samson & Delilah’ LP. Completing the line up is French-American singer Cécile McLorin Salvant, who has been described as ‘an extraordinary revelation of contemporary vocal jazz’.
Note: the live show tonight may not feature ‘This Sullen Welsh Heart’ as I think the Tuesday show is a shorter 30minute show (broadcast live). The track possibly might end up being shown on the longer one-hour show on Friday (11th Oct 2013).
Update:
In the end Lucy didn’t appear on the Tuesday show, but her performance with James Dean Bradfield was recorded and played during the Friday episode.

The clip was available on the BBC iPlayer for a seven days but unfortunately it’s no longer available.

Here’s what Lucy has to say about the experience on her Facebook:
“Singing with James from Manic Street Preachers on Jools Holland one of the most amazing and surreal moments I’ve ever had. Think it’ll be on Friday nights show if you want to see how terrified I was”
A massive manic thankyou to Lucy Rose for flying back from the u.s.a-watch fridays later for her stunning performance with james-x
