Episode 3: A Scandinavian Sojourn with Andrew Mellor
Andrew Mellor has established himself as something of a British cultural attaché to Scandinavia since moving to Copenhagen in 2015. Well known for his contributions to BBC Radio 3's Record Review and the BBC Proms, he takes our host Paul Thomas on a guided tour of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, discussing some of the fascinating music that has been inspiring him recently.
