Sunday Morning - Iain Burnside and Suzy Klein

With Iain Burnside and Suzy Klein. As the carcass of the Christmas bird starts to look a little less appetising, Iain and Suzy gather a trio of A-list musical guests to help bring some post-Yuletide sparkle to Sunday morning. Joanna MacGregor, James Bowman and Tarik O'Regan reflect on their musical highlights of the year 2009 and their hopes for the next.
