"London was very dull in about 1960, and it was mind-blowing meeting Cage."
Tom talks to composer, pianist and journalist Peter Dickinson about a lifetime spent writing, performing and thinking about music. He discusses how travelling to America when he was young affected his music, particularly the influence of John Cage on his compositional technique, as well as his meetings with English poets Auden and Larkin.
