Veteran Senegalese world beat star Baaba Maal performs a Hub Session for Tom Robinson.
This week we're joined by Mike Portnoy, drummer with progressive metal veterans Dream Theater.
Dream Theater have sold over 15 million albums and are one of the most technically proficient bands around. Since the mid 80s the band have witnessed changes to their line-up and disputes with record labels, but they remain one of the most popular groups around.
We'll be asking Mike about their plans to play Download Festival this year, as well as performing two special gigs in Leeds and Southampton. He'll also be telling us about their tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, which is out this month and why they're teaming up with Opeth to bring their Progressive Nation tour to Europe for the very first time this autumn.
