Richard Coles talks to rock icon
Pete Townshend , whose play with music,
Lifehouse, is to be premiered on Radio 3 next Sunday. Townshend began Lifehouse as a sequel to his rock opera Tommy in 1971 but has developed it for radio. Set in the industrial wastes of Britain on the last day of the millennnium, it explores the impact of music on the marginalised and spiritually hungry.
