The Arts Desk Radio Show 2

Welcome to our second show, brought to you again from the Red Bull Studio in London where it was recorded by Brendon Harding.

This time, Peter and Joe are joined live in the studio by two guests: friend of theartsdesk and musical polymath Mara Carlyle, and Arthur Jeffes of Sundog and Penguin Café. Mara discusses sharing management with J-Lo, and sings Gershwin with a ukulele, while Arthur discusses continuing the legacy of his father, Penguin Café Orchestra founder Simon Jeffes, and exclusively plays us some new material from his Sundog project, hot from the hard drive.

Elsewhere you can hear about how Africa is now coming to us via Brooklyn and Dalston, how "post-classical" music feels at ease with techno, and - yes - how Peter once had dinner with Caetano Veloso.
