Michael Berkeley's guest is singer and songwriter PJ Harvey, one of the most successful female rock artists of her generation and whose latest album White Chalk was released last autumn.
Her wide musical interests are reflected in her choices, which include works by Part, Vaughan Williams and Nick Cave as well as Nina Simone's instrumental version of You'll Never Walk Alone.
