With Pete Townshend

Shaun is back from Glastonbury with live music from across the weekend, plus he talks to the Who's Pete Townshend about his upcoming Quadrophenia shows.

Shaun is back from Glastonbury with live music from across the weekend and a lengthy chat with the Who's Pete Townshend about his upcoming Quadrophenia shows.

Pete Townshend chats with Shaun about the special classical version of the album originally released by The Who in 1973. This version was orchestrated by the composer, orchestrator and singer-songwriter Rachel Fuller, who is also the partner of Pete Townshend and is performed live for the fist time on the 5th July at the Royal Albert Hall.

The project, announced in The Who's 50th anniversary year, is the latest chapter in Townshend's lifelong mission to break the three-minute mould of the traditional pop song and take rock music to a higher artistic level. He talks to Shaun about this desire hasn't left him and his urge to keep creating and challenging music conventions.
