Description

Clips from Tricia Ingrams First Edition programme, on London Newstalk between 7pm and 10pm each weekday evening. Guests are: Christopher Biggins, who talks about his life and career in the theatre; Edward (first name only) on Broadway musical arrangements and the work he has done with Julie Andrews (also contains music which he explains.) An unidentified male interviewer then speaks to composer James MacMillan about his work, some of which brings in his religious belief and one inspired by the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster -background noise in this clip. Breaks in recording.
