The BBC Electric Proms at the Roundhouse -Audio-

For this blog we have the audio of the 2009 BBC Electric Proms at the Roundhouse as broadcast on BBC Wales. It is the full concert, with a 20-minute introduction by BBC Wales and an interview with Dame Shirley. Unfortunately the concert that was broadcast on TV a day later had songs edited out. I hope you can all enjoy this concert again in its full glory with special thanks to Neil for making this possible!
