Waxing Lyrical
The Beatles broke the mould of the separate identities of performer, composer and lyricist. Since then the rise of the songwriter who composes both music and words, and gets up on stage to perform them, has continued, while the role of the lyricist has become more important in the theatre.
Talking about their craft and the current issues, are lyricists Don Black and Tim Rice , and songwriters Billy Bragg and Simon Climie. Chairing the discussion is Mark Steyn. Producer RICHARD BANNERMAN Editor ANNE WINDER
(Re-broadcast tomorrow at 4.30pm)
