Grab a brew and take a pew for a very special edition of Late Junction, as we head to Northumberland to pay a visit to the home of Geordie troubadour Richard Dawson.

A folk favourite, sonic storyteller, avant-garde experimenter and poignant worldbuilder, Rich鈥檚 music often makes epics out of the domestic, inhabiting the perspectives of intimate characters on emotional journeys. His latest album The End of the Middle digs deep into the inner workings of a family unit - in his own words, it is 鈥榮tripped back, stark and naked鈥�.

Jennifer Lucy Allan heads to Rich鈥檚 home just outside Newcastle to delve into his record collection with him, pulling out highlights from his huge and varied treasure trove, as well as a visit to his allotment for a quick bit of weeding and plenty of cups of tea. Rich shares selections and stories from his time working in Newcastle鈥檚 record shops, the music that has shaped him, and the voices that have stuck with him.
