That serendipitous moment when you’re listening to the radio and one of your favourite songs comes on: David Mitchell on BBC Radio 3
#PrivatePassions chose #WeddingSong from Hadestown UK as a favourite. Great taste! 😎🌹 😃
Delighted to hear that #MissaLuba was one of the musical choices made by Baroness Helena Kennedy in #PrivatePassions on BBC Radio 3
We must have the same LP! 👇🏽
Looking forward to Mali Morris with Michael Berkeley on #PrivatePassions BBC Radio 3 12.00 today - a favourite artist. I bought two prints from Mali’s Alain Toussaint series and I’m betting on Professor Longhair amongst her choices.

Thanks for lovely reactions to my #PrivatePassions chat on BBC Radio 3 yesterday.

Robert Powell on #PrivatePassions now. I met him once, in the Cask & Class pub, Westminster. We got him to sign a colleague's retirement card. 'David, after 36 years it's time to go, all the best, Robert Powell' (something like that). He was a good sport..(we were not sober)
