Desmond plays a broad mixture of all that is good about music-making. In part two, he takes a theme and this week it's a drag, with songs about boys and girls dressing up.

Desmond Carrington plays a broad mixture of all that is good about music-making in the 20th century (and a little from the 21st). He rummages through his record collection of 250,000 titles to come up with some good tunes, some unexpected ones, and a few you may have never heard before. In part two, he takes a theme and this week it's a drag, with songs about boys and girls dressing up.
