A Lancashire Lad
Indra Hughes brings a personal approach to Summer Sonic with a strong West Auckland thread, where this Lancashire lad now lives. He shares music that is special to him, and chats about people he's worked with. There's Bach in unusual guises, rousing 'curtain-raisers' of romantic British music, Mel Tormé, relaxing, beautiful slow movements and tuneful eighteenth-century organ concertos.
