Great music and ‘the presence of ghosts' – our rock critic takes a new direct flight from Dublin to Nashville
Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers cut some of their most celebrated songs in this atmospheric studio and, in a moment our wonderful tour guide evokes by shutting off the lights, it was here on April 4, 1960, that Elvis Presley and his band, the Jordanaires, recorded the spellbinding Are You Lonesome Tonight? in the pitch dark.

Here's the official song list for A.V. Undercover season 10
15 years and a couple of owners since we launched it, we've now reached the 10th season of A.V. Undercover. Our beloved music series has undergone a few transformations, but this year, we once again asked our readers for song suggestions, and you really delivered. We've come up with another great mix of songs from different decades and genres, and we can't wait to see how the invited bands interpret them (dolls and movie props are welcome, but not required). A quick refresher on how this works: The first band will get to choose from these 10 songs, and whichever one they cover will then be crossed off the list. The second band will choose from nine songs, and so on, until the last song remaining is covered by the last band. This year, the lineup will be made up of A.V. Undercover alums, and we also asked you for suggestions on who should return (though, as in years past, that info is still under wraps). Now here it is, the song list for A.V. Undercover season 10. Roy Orbison, 'In Dreams' Patti Smith, 'Because The Night' Nick Lowe, 'Cruel To Be Kind' Siouxsie And The Banshees, 'Cities In Dust' Chris Isaak, 'Wicked Game' The La's, 'There She Goes' Faith No More, 'Midlife Crisis' White Town, 'Your Woman' Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 'Maps' Chappell Roan, 'Pink Pony Club' More from A.V. Club

Fans to be treated to The Roy Orbiston Experience at Suffolk venue
A night of musical nostalgia featuring the hits of one of the biggest artists of the 1960s is heading to Sudbury. The Roy Orbison Experience will take place on Friday, February 21, at The Quay in Sudbury. This tribute to Roy Orbison brings his sound to life with the "incredible" vocals of Oliver Harris. Tickets cost £22 (Image: The Roy Orbison Experience) Having performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and the West End, Harris is set to deliver a performance that captures the essence of Orbison's music. The show focuses on recreating the voice, style, and spirit of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon. Backed by a live band, audiences can expect a journey through Orbison's greatest hits. Classics such as Pretty Woman, Crying, I Drove All Night, You Got It, and Only the Lonely will be performed. Tickets are available for £22 and the show will start at 7.30pm.
