The Music Teacher - Episode 5

Shut away in a tiny windowless practice room in a regional arts centre, Nigel endures his usual succession of bizarre pupils whilst wrestling with the latest curveball thrown at him by panicked Arts Centre manager, Belinda. Nigel endures his usual steady stream of talentless pupils: a vocalist claiming a sub-bass range and a wannabe Avant-Garde composer stretching his already taut patience. But hidden amongst the dross is a little ray of light in the shape of Martha - a local folk singer/songwriter who reignites not only his passion for performing, but his passion for passion. Will Nigel be able to make this opportunity count both on and off stage? Not if Belinda has anything to do with it: she's forgotten to get Nigel's CRB clearance sorted, and the local Beavers and Brownies gang show is in town... Nigel Penny ..... Richie Webb Belinda ..... Vicki Pepperdine Other roles by Dave Lamb, Jim North and Jess Robinson Directed by Nick Walker Written by Richie Webb The producer is Richie Webb, and this is a Top Dog production for BBC Radio 4.
