Armitage and Moore's Guide to Song

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The first of a three-part guide to popular recorded songs, presented by the poet Simon Armitage and the musicologist Allan Moore. Each week the pair analyse and unpick favourite popular songs to find out what makes them tick. In the first programme they consider the "who" of songs - their narrators, characters and personae, from David Bowie Ziggy Stardust to Natalie Merchant's Henry Darger. And the singer Barb Jungr performs and discusses her version of Bob Dylan's I'll Be Your Baby Tonight.
