This week we’re discussing various tunes and music genres which popped up in surprising circumstances. We’ve got North Africa’s blues inspired Tuareg Rock, western music behind the iron curtain and modern attempts to recreate that original Tudor sound! Tom’s joined the rechargeable nasal hair remover revolution and we’re talking hair removal through history this week; we’re talking Norman Lamont, we’re talking Margaret Thatcher’s press secretary.
