Writing about Music

Mary Anne Hobbs explores music writing, including music reviews, fan letters and lyrics, and is joined by NME deputy editor Eve Barlow.

Literature lovers unite ... the pen and the piano collide ... writing and music combine. This is a programme exploring the world of music reviews, fan letters and lyrics.

Mary Anne's main guest will be Eve Barlow, deputy editor at the NME, who will be delivering a lesson in how to write well about music.

Also ... if you've ever wanted to receive a postcard from a popstar, this could be your lucky day.

This programme is part of the glorious 6 Music Celebrates Libraries season ...
