Artistic respect

MD Ian Porthouse said: "This is another indication of the artistic respect the band has gained over recent years with the innovative projects we've been involved with.

The Hay Festival is a renowned worldwide so to be asked to be part of Radio 3's coverage will provide us with a great spotlight."
