Clive James on words and music
Listen now
Description
This week on the Music Show, we take a look into the archives to an interview with the late, great Clive James. Andy spoke to Clive back in 2003 about what it was like writing for the song and the stage, and they discussed some of Clive's favourite pieces of musical poetry — from Stephen Sondheim to Aretha Franklin.  As ever, we’re indebted to Penny Lomax and Maureen Cooney for producing the first thirtyish years of this show from which to draw this archive. Technical production from Roi Huberman and Nathan Turnbull.  The Music Show is produced on Gadigal land and Gundungurra country.
