40 years ago I was a trainee reporter at @BBCSheffield.
4 decades later, I’m back in the city to host Music and the Mind for @BBCSounds at @crossedwires_
I’d love to tell that young, anxious me - it’s ok - it’ll all work out.
Tickets free btw

Throughout this year's festival, we've been asking the stars of the BBC Proms about the piece of music that helps them find focus in a busy world.
Hear more on Fridays on Radio 3 Unwind, as @sianwilliams100 presents Peaceful Proms Mornings. You can also hear a special selection of music from the Proms over the years. Listen from 9am on Radio 3 Unwind, or afterwards on @BBCSounds.
