THOROUGHLY GOOD PROMS PODCAST # 6

Inspired by some unexpected feedback on Thoroughly Good Proms Podcast # 5 (last show), Podcast # 6 concentrates on trying to work out just what contemporary or modern or new music is all about.

There's a review of music by Jonathan Harvey, Julian Anderson and Steve Reich and a couple of interviews with two dedicated prommers from outside the Albert Hall too, one of whom has been a stalwart member of the proms audience since 1947.
