Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera, trumpeter Yazz Ahmed and David Thewlis' Inheritance Tracks

Comedian Tim Vine, guitarist Phil Manzanera, listener Fiona Maher on finding her long lost brother, jazz trumpeter Yazz Ahmed and the Inheritance Tracks of actor David Thewlis.

Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Tim Vine, a comedian who eschewes the observational / confessional style, and celebrates joke telling and puns, his latest tour combines his love of music with comedy.  
Listener Fiona Maher grew up hearing that she had a half-brother that she’d never met.  After 40 years, she finally found him. She joins us to tell us what it’s like to have a new family.  
Phil Manzanera has played in some of the biggest stadiums in the world as the guitarist of Roxy Music.  His South American heritage is at the root of his latest work.
Yazz Ahmed is a trumpeter described as “the high priestess of psychedelic Arabic Jazz”, she joins us.
We have the Inheritance Tracks of actor David Thewlis, who chooses Starry Starry Night by Don McLean, and 11.59 by Blondie.
And your Thank you.
