Rufus Wainwright joins us to talk about his new album, Unfollow The Rules, lockdown's threat to live music, and his online robe recitals. In the wake of the announcement of £1.57 billion investment in the arts, John Wilson speaks to Neil Mendoza, the government's Commissioner for Cultural Recovery and Renewal, about how far-reaching this rescue package can be. Tate Britain is giving ten artists £10,000 bursaries in place of this year’s Turner Prize. Critic Louisa Buck discusses the range of artists being supported and what this initiative might mean for the future of the prize itself. And on his 80th birthday, we hear from Ringo Starr in a Front Row interview first broadcast in 2008. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Dymphna Flynn
