    Charles and Graham ponder if Morrissey's return to form is a lie? The persecution of Morrissey and his new album, Make-up is a Lie seems completely over the top.

    Watching new film Midwinter Break starring Lesley Manville and Ciaran Hinds, Graham starts to wonder if it means that serious films about middle age and older possible are now possible these days?

    If the monthly Spotify figures are what matters, Bruno Mars is now the world's greatest musician. Graham and Charles look at which artists are still building audiences.

    Graham mulls the richness in Harrogate's classical music calendar with the Harrogate International Festival Sunday Series debut of world renowned one-handed pianist, Nicholas McCarthy.
