    “HELLO, public!”

    An extraordinary conversation with one of the most versatile, brilliant, and fiercely independent forces in British music history. Mike Batt, LVO is offering up his five guests this week on the pod, bringing his five-time Ivor Novello Award-winning singer-songwriter, conductor, and producer FIVE-DECADE career to bear on all things ‘fantasy dinner’ - one decade for each guest. Mike's melodies are woven directly into the fabric of global pop culture, from Katy Melua ('Closest Thing to Crazy’), through Art Garfunkel (‘Bright Eyes’), right back to the British establishment that is…The Wombles (‘Remember you’re a…’).

    Now he’s back in the classical music fray with a moving and timely new work, The Ukraine Symphony recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. In the course of the episode, Tim Lihoreau touches on SO much - not least upping sticks and sailing around the world just as success struck AND…exactly what it was that Sir Paul McCartney said to him, that time! But will he take The Gatecrasher, chosen for him by Tim?
