Jess Gillam with... Hazel Askew

Jess meets folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Hazel Askew to swap some of their favourite music, including music by Dvorak, Warsaw Village Band, M Ward and Leonard Bernstein.

Jess's meets folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Hazel Askew to swap some of their favourite music. Hazel is a fixture in the UK folk music scene known for her bands Lady Maisery and the Askew Sisters, as well as numerous collaborative projects across different musical genres.

Today they sit down to listen to a full-blooded folk waltz by Warsaw Village Band, a symphony with all the tunes by Dvorak, Stevie Wishart channelling Hildegard of Bingen and a surprisingly emotional David Bowie cover by M Ward.
