Celebrating women in music. Presented by Jane Garvey.

Celebrating women in music, from Mercury Music Prize winner PJ Harvey, to legendary opera singer Dame Janet Baker. Presented by Jane Garvey.

It's been another bumper year for women in music, with female solo artists dominating both the charts and the headlines. The Observer's music critic Kitty Empire joins Jane to talk about Adele's success going stratospheric, Amy Winehouse's posthumous album, and Mercury Music Prize winner P J Harvey. There are fantastic sessions from Rumer, Janis Ian and Ayanna Witter-Johnson, plus we talk to the legendary opera singer Dame Janet Baker, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award this year. Presented by Jane Garvey.
