Peggy Seeger is the Wednesday Profile guest, plus a discussion about the lack of women headlining festival stages
American folk singer Peggy Seeger is the Wednesday Profile guest, plus 6 Music's Edith Bowman and music critic Fiona Shepherd discuss the lack of women headlining festivals.
Peggy Seeger, the American folk singer who celebrates her 80th birthday today, is our Wednesday Profile guest.
Music critic Fiona Shepherd discusses the recent newspaper headline: "Among the 11 groups and solo acts topping the bills this year at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Reading/Leeds and the V festivals, there is not a single woman."
Australian band, Sheppard, are live in session. Their catchy hit single Geronimo knocked Pharrell Williams' mega-hit Happy off the top spot of the Australian charts and has gone on to enormous success around the globe. Their debut album is out now and they play Glasgow tonight.
Author Sarah Winman's debut novel When God Was a Rabbit captured the imaginations of readers and bookshops alike in 2011. She's back with A Year of Marvellous Ways, the story of an unlikely friendship set in post-World War 2 Cornwall.
