Living for the City

RADIO 4, 9.00AM

The singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae presents this illuminating programme about the musical landscape of her home city, Leeds, the first in a series of programmes in which musicians lead a personal tour of a city that has special meaning to them. Bailey Rae talks movingly about how returning to Leeds always feels like returning home, about being a nine-year-old playing the violin at Leeds Town Hall, and about how the death of her first husband has affected her life and her music.
