BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Craig David

Susannah Constantine, Sandy Nairne, City Girl in Nature and Jamie Oliver's ITs.

Singer Craig David, City Girl in Nature Kwesia, stolen art tracker Sandy Nairne, writer and presenter Susannah Constantine and the Inheritance Tracks of Jamie Oliver.

Craig David joins Julia Bradbury and Richard Coles. The singer-songwriter found fame age 18 with ‘Rewind’ and over the next 22 years dealt with the highs and lows of fame. Craig talks about his career, overcoming obstacles and rediscovering his good vibes.

Kwesia aka City Girl in Nature grew up in Deptford, an inner city area of London. Growing up Kwesia dealt with violence and trauma but an opportunity to go to the Peruvian Amazon rainforest changed her life and she now works to share her love and passion for the outdoors.

Sandy Nairne was deputy director of London’s Tate Gallery back in 1994 when he was woken in the early hours to be told that two Turner paintings, on loan from the Tate, had been stolen in Frankfurt. They were worth £30 million. He became the person responsible for tracking them down, which would take eight and a half years. 

Jamie Oliver shares his Inheritance Tracks: (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding and Only To Be With You by Roachford.

Susannah Constantine made her name as a stylist in What Not To Wear. She talks about her life, from being an 80s IT girl to the impact of her mother’s illness, and her own alcoholism.

Craig David's new album 22 is out now and his book What’s Your Vibe is out on the 6th October.
Kwesia features in a new podcast called Waterland's from The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
Catching the Art Thieves is on the BBC iPlayer now.

Ready for Absolutely Nothing by Susannah Constantine is out now.
