Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. At 12:10 Tracy Quan joins us live from New York, where the 1066 Battle of Hastings made the front page of Tuesday’s New York Times, though something important is missing from their report. At 12:40 it’s Philippe Dova from RTL France, live from Paris with a tribute to Jean-Paul Dréau, the French songwriter behind the classic 'Le Coup de soleil', who passed away earlier this month. Then at 1:25 it’s Classical Music Day, with Paul Archibald joining us bright and early from London. Today the classical music of a place you’d never think of… Bulgaria, home to a rich tradition that blends lots of folk rhythms with Western classical styles, which when all mixed together create an incredible sound all of its own... as you'll find out.
