Evening:

19:00 - 20:00 Rock Lit Listen Again

Nick Coleman, from Fulbourn, was a rock journalist until tinnitus struck. His book The Train in the Night tells of the devastating effects of this. In it, he also recounts his musical journey as he grew up in Cambridge. We review it this week along with How Music Works by John Powell which explains just that, and Alan Rusbridger's Play It Again which, if you've given up playing an instrument or are thinking of taking one up, will give you the push you need.
