Soul Solutions 9.00pm R2
Mica Paris returns for another series of R n' B music and soulful conversation, beginning with Bobby Womack. Now 60, Womack is in animated mood as he tells anecdotes about working with some of the biggest names in soul music. He got his first break when he was spotted by the legendary Sam Cooke and went on to write what became the Rolling Stones' first number one, It's All Over Now. Known as a singer and a songwriter, he's also worked as a guitarist and here he recalls playing with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Sly Stone. He's got stories involving Eric Clapton and a pillowcase, as well as his own hits, such as Hany Hippie, and he claims the spirit of Sam Cooke lives on - in him! It's an upbeat stroll through his back pages but it certainly isn't all nostalgia, for the show also features Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams and contemporary music from New Sector Movements.
New series 1/4. A decade on from the releases of Massive Attack's Protection, Portishead's Dummy and Tricky's Maxinquaye, a reassessment of the influence of these seminal albums produced during an inspired flourish in inner-city Bristol's pop history. The quest to define a so-called Bristol sound includes music by Pigbag, Rip, Rig and Panic, Maximum Joy and the Pop Group. The series kicks off with a look at the scene's pioneer days of soul, funk, punk and reggae. Producer Simon Poole
Way Out West - the Bristol Underground 10.00pm R2
Bristol wasn't known for a thriving music scene until ten years ago when Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead all emerged from the city with albums that have stood the test of time. This four-parter goes back to the roots of the Bristol scene to examine how a series of bands cooked up what became known as trip-hop from a varied list of ingredients that included reggae, jazz and hip-hop. This opener goes back to the 80s when the Pop Group and Pigbag were local heroes. (Geoff Ellis)
