Colin Hay
Colin Hay found fame in the 1980s with the Australian band Men at Work and their Platinum hit 鈥淒own Under鈥�, often referred to as the unofficial Australian National Anthem!听Despite these听Aussie credentials,听Colin was in fact born in Ayrshire on the south west coast of Scotland and emigrated to Australia with his parents in the 1960s.听
听
After Men at Work broke up,听Colin struggled听to establish a solo career and with alcohol addiction.听He overcame this and听was recently in the UK on his听鈥楩inding My Dance鈥� tour and to promote his album 鈥楪athering Mercury鈥�.听He talks to Clare about his career, overcoming addiction and how Australia and aboriginal culture have inspired him.
Raphael Wallfisch
Raphael Wallfisch is one of the most celebrated cellists performing on the international stage. He was born in London into a family of distinguished musicians, his mother the cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and his father the pianist Peter Wallfisch. He and his son, the conductor Benjamin Wallfisch, have just released a CD of Jewish music dedicated to the family they never knew. In advance of听Holocaust Memorial Day on 27th January, Raphael will play one of the tracks from the CD.
