EastCast

We have a busy studio on this week's EastCast with guests Giles Abbott, a traditional storyteller who came to the profession after losing his sight. We talk to artist Tom Pearce and then challenge him to sketch the EastCast presenters while recording. And bright young thing Elena Dirik performs a beautiful rendition of a classic song along with her ukulele. We also hear the next chapter in the Chrisp Street story from residents of the East End market. Music this week includes Death Vessel, Mirel Wagner, Le1f and Face+Heel, and as usual we bring you the best in arts and culture listings from our corner of the city.
