DJ, broadcaster and writer, Zakia Sewell joins Tom Ravenscroft to explore the legendary record collection of his dad, former ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ DJ John Peel. Each episode, Tom's guests lend a hand (and two ears) in making sense of this vast music archive, which is comprised of more than 120,000 albums, 12 inches and seven inches, collected over a lifetime and meticulously catalogued. In this episode, Zakia goes in search of British folk band Pentangle - who she became a fan of as a teenager, after an introduction from her dad. Her eclectic listening selection also includes records by reggae artists The Abyssinians and Dennis Brown, and 80s avant-prog band Camberwell Now. Also, Zakia shares stories from her time working in a London record shop, and the pair discuss the pros and cons of DJing with vinyl. Presenter: Tom Ravenscroft Producers: Paul Sheehan, Becca Bryers and Richard Haugh
