Andrew Roachford and Anna Lapwood celebrate the intricacies of singing
Singer and composer Andrew Roachford and organist Anna Lapwood take us from Jamaica to a popular annual international music tradition with Anna Phoebe and Jeffrey Boakye.
Singer-songwriter Andrew Roachford and organist and conductor Anna Lapwood join Anna Phoebe and Jeffrey Boakye in the studio as they add the next five tracks to the playlist.
Starting in Jamaica in the 1960s, they travel via the Hunger Games and a Rolling Stones choir classic to the Congo, finishing up at arguably the most famous song on the planet.
Also, Tessa Tulloch, formerly of The London Bach Choir, describes being conducted by Mick Jagger before actually hearing the track they were contributing to.
