Live from Sheffield


2015-05-03: Live from the Winter Gardens in Sheffield with snooker legend Steve Davis and a studio audience. Jarvis talks about a big election that's coming up: the vote to discover Britain's favourite national bird. What bird can challenge the reigning robin? Guest Steve Davis chats about his career in snooker and his love of progressive rock, and recommends some weird and wonderful lesser-known records. (If you liked Steve's taste in music, he has his own radio programme, the Interesting Alternative Show on Phoenix 98 FM.) He also gives Jarvis some cueing coaching. Jarvis asks listeners to suggest songs that are to do with the colour black. Birthdays include Rob Brydon, Henry Cooper, Ken Hom, Virgil Fox, James Brown and Pete Seeger.
