Episode 6: An overture from The Verve

This week's overture is from The Verve, spend some time with mobsters in New York thanks to your auditory cortex and enjoy music from Portishead, Villagers and Marlena Shaw.

Musician and composer Hannah Peel delves into her vast record collection to play music elevated by the use of an orchestral ensemble - big or small. This week, familiar acts such as John Lennon, Blue Nile and Elton John are heard alongside soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone, Dublin act Villagers and other favourites of Hannah's - such as Cat's Eyes, Tubular Brass and Angel Olsen. As long as there's strings, brass, woodwind (or all of the above) - it belongs on this - the perfect Sunday afternoon playlist!
