Show Notes

Charles catches up with U2's new album, Songs of Surrender. Graham reflects on the remarkable revival of Suede and why their gig in Leeds was one of the best he's ever seen. Graham reports on John Godber's new 'agit-prop' play Living On Fresh Air at Harrogate Theatre and why it makes all the right points but offers little hope. Charles is greatly impressed by the new production of Lord of the Flies at Leeds Playhouse and Graham assesses the cult of 19th century art critic and social thinker John Ruskin and whether he cuts it in the 21st century.
