Saturday Brunch: Songs & Stories with Ian Shaw & Paul Gambaccini
For this very special Songs and Stories, Ian Shaw welcomes the legendary radio and TV presenter, broadcaster and writer, the New York-born Paul Gambaccini.
The seemingly infinite and passionate, deep mind and voice behind BBC Radio Two's Pick of the Pops, Radio One's Billboard Top 30, Radio 4's iconic Counterpoint, as well as a cherished guest on TV, radio and live shows.
Currently, 'Gambo', as he's affectionately known, presents the weekly 'Paul Gambaccini Collection' on Radio Two. Shaw and Paul are old friends, and this brunch show is an unmissable treat, with Paul's endless wealth of stories and experiences, recounting his friendships with some of the greatest performers on the planet. He will choose an album's side-worth of songs for Ian to play, reflecting a lifetime's dedication to popular music.
