A joy to get to pick all week some of my very favourite music for the fabulous ⁦Soweto Kinch⁩ who hosts (in the most mellifluous of voices) my favourite new late night music programme ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩ . Last night was Bessie; tonight … bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Loved talking about Peggy Seeger and Harry Belafonte and robins and Mums with ⁦Markradcliffe⁩ on Sunday morning. Something thrilling about live radio. I was on about 8.30, blurry- eyed! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Thank you ! It’s Such fun getting to pick the songs
