Rick Wakeman, The Tiger Lillies, Oz Clarke

Stuart Maconie is joined in Salford by 'The Wizard of Prog', Rick Wakeman. A man who has lived life to excess, he's not short of stories, from working as a session musician with his friend David Bowie to joining, leaving and rejoining Yes and his creating solo extravaganzas such as 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table'. As well as regaling us with a few of these stories, Rick performs for us.

If Rick Wakeman is the Wizard of Prog then Oz Clarke is the Wizard of Wine. The man who taught Britain how to appreciate the grape has written 'A Vine is a Wild Thing' -an updated and revised edition of his classic guide 'Red & White'. Oz takes us through how our taste in Wine has matured over the years since he first graced our screens on Food and Drink, and what we should be drinking this Christmas.

And we're celebrating Halloween with a song from the 'Brechtian Punk Cabaret' trio 'The Tiger Lilles', ahead of their Songs For the Dead concert at the Soho Theatre Walthamstow.
