Tonight on ⁦The Verb⁩ I’m joined by a quartet of ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩ presenters to discuss writing about music: ⁦Corey Mwamba⁩ ⁦Hannah French 👩🏻‍🦽⁩ ⁦Georgia Mann⁩ ⁦kate molleson⁩. What a line up! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

You may have heard about this. I'm extremely lucky to have been part of this, and to have had the opportunity to listen to so much amazing music. Thank you to everyone who listened and sent in music: it's been illuminating for the soul.

Looking forward to it, Ian! See you later.
