The first two-thirds of today's show are devoted to music from south-eastern Europe: wedding music, pop, brass, Balkan beats and rock from the 60s to now and from Romania to Turkey and Bosnia to Macedonia; songs by and about the Windrush generation on the 75th anniversary of the landing of the Empire Windrush in England
