A joy to get to pick all week some of my very favourite music for the fabulous ā¦Soweto Kinchā© who hosts (in the most mellifluous of voices) my favourite new late night music programme ā¦BBC Radio 3ā© . Last night was Bessie; tonight ā¦ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0ā¦
Loved talking about Peggy Seeger and Harry Belafonte and robins and Mums with ā¦Markradcliffeā© on Sunday morning. Something thrilling about live radio. I was on about 8.30, blurry- eyed! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0ā¦
