Listener Karel Lush and tribute band Sing Baby Sing celebrate live music.

Listener Week Finale: Karel Lush on the joy of live music and tribute bands, while two listeners, who regularly tweet their opinions, join Jenni Murray to review the week.

The Listener Week finale. Karel Lush got in touch wanting to share her passion for live music. She missed out on seeing her idols first time around and now spends her spare time going to see tribute bands. Karel's favourite are the Stylistics tribute Sing Baby Sing, were playing at a Soul and 60s legends weekend at Brean Sands in Somerset. We sent our reporter Felicity Finch to join Karel as she got ready for her big night out.

Jane contacted the programme because she is unsure how to talk to her 15 year-old daughter about sex. She would also like to know how to protect her daughter from sexual exploitation and whether it's possible to ensure her daughter uses contraception once she is an adult. Jane puts her questions to child psychologist Laverne Antrobus and family solicitor Elspeth Thomson.

Angela has raised the issue of helping people with dementia with personal grooming, which can help raise their self esteem. Jenni is joined by the Guardian's beauty editor Sali Hughes and by Kathryn Smith from the Alzheimer's Society, to hear the suggestions.

Plus advice for a mum who's now in a same sex relationship and wants to tell her daughter. 

Plus two of our listeners, who regularly tweet their opinions, join Jenni in the studio to review the week.
