Chris Hawkins sits in with Lenny Henry

Chris Hawkins sits in for Mary Anne Hobbs and is joined by comedian (and part-time blues musician) Lenny Henry.

Chris Hawkins sits in for Mary Anne and welcomes comedy icon (and part-time blues musician) Lenny Henry to the show.

Henry has been one of the funniest forces on British television for more than forty years, and also co-founded Comic Relief. He was knighted in the Queen's 2015 Birthday Honours for services to drama and charity.

Henry is also a blues expert and musician. Notably he performed backing vocals on Kate Bush's album The Red Shoes. His new album Millennium Blues features a mix of classic blues numbers and original tracks written with the Blackacre Road Band.
