Coltrane beginners might want to catch @sowetokinch.bsky.social & Ashley Khan talking about #Coltrane100 on #BBCFrontRow www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/.... Also up: Russell Kane on playing a mid-life Romeo. Not so much a bathetic fallacy as you'd expect.

How moving to hear Martin Carthy speak of his long 'adventure' in folk music as, rightly,the first item on @BBCFrontRow @BBCRadio4! I have seen him- battling a failing memory- but with sudden perfect recall of fierce intricate guitar work & eloquent words.

As well as a lovely tribute to Tim Curry from his best friend (wait for the Picasso story!) this #BBCFrontRow has a pretty terrifying interview with YouTube's Pedro Pina prior to his Edinburgh MacTaggart Lecture. How grim & vacuous is his future screenworld landscape?! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
