Über diesen Titel

 Imagine if we took an entertaining dive into your favourite music… and revealed what makes it so special. That’s what happens in All About The Music as composer and BBC broadcaster Neil Brand asks famous faces to gather their top hits and musical passions and join him around the piano for a chat… and a very close listen. Neil is music’s most effortless improviser and engaging storyteller. But above all he’s a fan of music, just like the rest of us. This is his chance to discuss old classics and discover new gems in the company of some brilliant, music-loving guests. Each guest brings a mix of music, and anything is up for grabs – from AC/DC to Alabama 3, or from Radiohead to RAYE. Emotion, nostalgia and utter joy pour out of guests as Neil gets to discuss and unpick every selection, with his piano close at hand. If you enjoy your music and like to find out just that little bit more, then All About The Music is for you.

  • Philippa Perry – Ella Fitzgerald sold me a dud

    Philippa Perry – Ella Fitzgerald sold me a dud
    Apr 8 2026
    In early 1962 Decca Records had the choice of signing one of two bands? They chose The Tremeloes, who went on to have two chart-topping singles. Not a bad result! Except that the other band were The Beatles. By coincidence, my guest today has chosen BOTH of these bands… Hello and welcome to another episode of All About The Music, where I’m delighted to be in the company of psychotherapist and author Philippa Perry. Her career has seen her delve deep into how childhood and family shape us as adults, so it’s only fitting that her musical picks take us back to the world of her own childhood - a time of boarding schools, and parents set on Philippa losing her Warrington accent. Whisper it quietly, but some of her choices aren’t necessarily “favourites”… more the tracks that transport her to a formative point in her life, whether that’s being mildly terrified by the story of “Big Bad John”, comforted by her aunt playing Chopin, or misled by the romantic lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald. And then there are The Beatles. Of all the music of her youth, they perhaps stand alone in Philippa’s eyes and ears. They’re as good now as they always were. No assessment of Philippa’s musical loves could be complete without a trip to the world of the musical theatre. And Singin’ in the Rain is a show I’m always happy to re-visit! Does Philippa care for contemporary music? Not a great deal, it has to be said. But Rufus Wainwright is a true talent who became the soundtrack to a memorable weekend in Paris when her and her now adult daughter stayed at the Hotel George V.

  • Damion Burrows – Smalltown Boy: 80s dance anthems with a big legacy

    Damion Burrows – Smalltown Boy: 80s dance anthems with a big legacy
    Mar 18 2026
    Music so often has big things to say about its time. And there’s something about the 80s where this really went into overdrive. My guest today was living and breathing it… Hello and welcome to another episode of All About The Music, where I am joined by Damion Burrows who, when he’s not heading up his own architectural business, can be seen on TV shows like Grand Designs: House of the Year, Your Home Made Perfect and Britain’s Favourite Railway Stations. As a youngster coming out in the 80s, Damion was drawn from hometown Sheffield to the clubs of Manchester which resounded to Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy and Pet Shop Boys hits like Left To My Own Devices. Through club music with a real message, Damion was finding his crowd whilst Britain was shouldering “Section 28”, which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools and by local authorities. As an adult, music is Damion’s way of relaxing, whether that’s revelling in the soulful brilliance of Celeste, soaking up the vibe with a posh picnic at a Jamie Cullum concert, or marvelling at the Kate Bush-esque vocal qualities of Swedish star Robyn. And I’m delighted to say, Damion’s introducing a new act to me too – the brilliant baritone of country star Orville Peck, who seems to be able to turn his hand to almost anything. Follow Damion Burrows: https://www.instagram.com/damionburrows/ Listen to all Damion’s selections on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ukc7QSU9cgSkzZXUSbHKU Featured artists & tracks: Jimmy Somerville & Bronski Beat, “Small Town Boy” Pet Shop Boys, “Left to My Own Devices” Celeste, “Stop This Flame”, “Strange” Jamie Cullum, “These Are the Days”, “You and Me Are Gone” Robyn, “Indestructible (Acoustic)”, “Hang With Me (Acoustic)” Orville Peck, “Hexy Mountains”, “Mienteme”, “Small Town Boy” Connect With Us Stay in tune with All About The Music and join the conversation wherever you are: Website: allaboutthemusicpod.com — explore episodes, guest playlists, and behind-the-scenes stories.

  • Mark Kermode – Movies, Modern Lovers and Mark Knopfler

    Mark Kermode – Movies, Modern Lovers and Mark Knopfler
    Mar 11 2026
    What does Britain’s most famous film critic listen to in his spare time? Perhaps predictably, the odd movie soundtrack gets mentioned today! But that’s about all that’s predictable… Hello and welcome to this episode of All About The Music, where I sit down with Mark Kermode — film critic, broadcaster and, I’m proud to say, a musician mate of mine. Mark’s taste is wonderfully eclectic, stretching from the 1930s Blues that he and his father could bond over, through skiffle to the political punk of Gang of Four and Mark’s formative years. The eclecticism only grows as we get to movies. Who else could pick Mark Knopfler’s superbly evocative Local Hero soundtrack, alongside the bold, boundary-pushing composition of Mica Levi and Anna Meredith’s Nautilus, which has been brilliantly described as the “sound of a panic attack”? And whilst it’s Dire Strait’s main man who leaves Mark with goosebumps, it’s the American Jonathan Richman who almost reduces him to tears. I encourage all of you to take a full listen to Jonathan’s 1979 number “The Morning Of Our Lives” – it really feels quite unique. Follow Mark: https://twitter.com/kermodemovie Listen to the Spotify playlist of Mark’s selections here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RlMqKAB9Q5ws2iZI7zp6x Featured artists & tracks: Washboard Sam – “Who Pumped The Wind In My Doughnut?” Lead Belly – “Rock Island Line” Gang of Four – “Ether”, “I Found That Essence Rare” Mark Knopfler – “Wild Theme”, “The Ceilidh & The Northern Lights” Mica Levi – “Love”, “Monos” Anna Meredith – “Nautilus” Jonathan Richman – “The Morning of Our Lives”, “Roadrunner” Connect With Us Stay in tune with All About The Music and join the conversation wherever you are: Website: allaboutthemusicpod.com — explore episodes, guest playlists, and behind-the-scenes stories.
