BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Benjamin Clementine performs live

Benjamin Clementine, Oscar Wilde's Women, and David LaChapelle.

Benjamin Clementine plays from his second album I Tell a Fly. We assess Oscar Wilde for modern times. And celebrity photographer David LaChapelle talks about nudity and glitter.

Benjamin Clementine performs live from his second album I Tell a Fly. He tells us why an experimental concept album felt like the right way follow up to his Mercury Prize winning 'At Least For Now'.

Dominic Dromgoole on his year long Oscar Wilde season in London's West End, and Franny Moyle on the influence of the women in Oscar Wilde's life.

David LaChapelle is the celebrity photographer of choice for leading fashion magazines. His first job was working as a photographer for Andy Warhol in New York. He discusses his hyper-realistic style, nudity, and how some of the biggest names in the world from Hillary Clinton to Kim Kardashian beat a path to his door.
