Indian film director Anurag Kashyap and the Perunika Trio.

Anurag Kashyap
The Indian film director - often compared to Quentin Tarantino - talks about making his epic two-part gangster movie Gangs of Wasseypur and why he included elements of Bollywood in a violent story centred around local mafia families. 

Perunika Trio
Based in London, singing traditional Bulgarian songs, this all-female ensemble's latest CD is full of songs about horses, women, weddings and peacocks and lots of rain.

Presenter: Mark Coles
