Friday Night Is Music Night and the Â鶹Éç Philharmonic bring you another delicious morsel from the world of ‘Scary Fairy’, the alternative fairy-tale written by actor, presenter and poet, Craig Charles.

The concert will be presented by Louise Minchin and opens with a feast of popular orchestral classics and songs from musicals, before Craig takes to the stage with the orchestra. He will tell Scary Fairy’s version of the story of Hansel and Gretel, the brother and sister who lose their way in the woods and come across a seemingly welcoming gingerbread house… Accompanied by a brand new score cooked up by Iain Farrington, expect the classic fairy-tale recipe but with something of a Craig Charles twist!

Programme details: TBC

Recorded for broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio 2 on Friday 6 January
