BBC Radio 4's peripatetic series Soul Music reappeared with a new episode yesterday. It tries to marry es the stories of songs (one per episode) by the creators with testimony from people whose lives they have affected.
The first episode was about Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. As a rule I could live without that, but last time I was in Cardiff Phil told me that Mike Ede has got a job this summer as Jimmy Somerville's driver on his tour and - for some reason - I found that juxtaposition very funny.
Coming up next Wednesday morning The Carpenters' We've only just begun is likely to be much more up my street.
