BBC Radio 6 Music - Shaun Keaveny, Stargazing with Paul Abel

The Sky at Night's Paul Abel celebrates the long-running TV show's 55th anniversary!

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of The Sky at Night's 55th, presenter Paul Abel joins Shaun to talk about all things astronomical, set to Keavo's kicking playlist as per usual.

Tuesday saw Shaun joined live in the studio by Paul Abel, one of the UK's most brilliant astronomers and a presenter of the BBC's long-running series, The Sky at Night, with star-gazing legend Sir Patrick Moore. The programme is celebrating its 55th Anniversary this April, and along with Jon Culshaw, Paul has devised something called the Moore Marathon, which is a list of some 55 astronomical objects for people with small telescopes to have a crack at.

Shaun was also joined by music news-hound (or should that be horse?) Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news. Plus Vince Power was on the phone to exclusively reveal the line-up for this year's Hop Farm Festival in Kent. Bring it on Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel!

Plus a fabulous playlist from the likes of Marlena Shaw, Credit To The Nation, Jack White, New Order, Sebadoh, Otis Redding, Grace Jones, Ash, The Rolling Stones and Ian Brown.
