Charlie Gillet World on 3

A few Fridays back, driving back from London,  after a meeting with two artists I’m working with and seeing the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal Academy, listening to radio 3 – that’s my main listening nowadays, I find everything else does my head in – after 10 in the evening, I came across Charlie Gillet presenting World on 3. His guest was Michel Winter and it was inspiring to listen to two true music enthusiasts. The music they played was diverse, Fela Kuti’s Zombie next to Jimi Hendrix’s Red House next to to the beautiful and bizarre and hard to find Les Musiciens Du Nil. Generally I’m not a fan of ‘world music’, not that I don’t like music from different parts of the planet that  we find ourselves on, but because quite often people like it because it is labeled as such rather than for any other quality it may have. Music is music, and good music is good music. Anyway, World on 3 between 11.15pm and 1.00am is my recommended listening.
