In this episode we’re getting slightly spiritual. We chart the decline of the father of Celtic soul, Van Morrison, ask what is happening to Manchester’s skyline, visit the 50’s modernist masterpiece, Coventry Cathedral, and bring you an unlikely David & Goliath story from the world of Big Oil. From the archives, more highlights from “Band of Scholars”. This time we go back to January 1944 on the India/Burma border and a vivid account of a clash with Japanese forces by my father’s contemporary at Oxford, Kenneth Ingham.
