    Choice magazine visited Classic FM - and took some behind-the-scenes photos

    Choice magazine, Britain’s leading independent magazine for women and men over 50, recently visited Classic FM studios for an exclusive look behind-the-scenes at the UK’s most popular classical music station. During their visit, they met many of the stars of Classic FM including John Suchet, Aled Jones, Alan Titchmarsh and Anne-Marie Minhall to find out what happens on and off air. The September edition of Choice is out now in newsagents, but we thought we’d give you a sneak preview of their six-page in-depth feature here…
