Calm Classics with Ritula Shah 10pm - 1am
Bob Jones' pioneering podcast series dedicates time to the artists and organisations that make the classical world turn - this week he talks to Rhydian Roberts.
With his shock of White hair - and dramatic baritone delivery - Rhydian Roberts was always a controversial contestant on X Factor 2007. But the public loved him - and eventually so did the judges. He still enjoys the drama of the white fur coats and sailor suits… but his latest album - just released is closer to his classical heart - and features Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Bryn Terfel - plus the music of Karl Jenkins.
