On this Monday's Bank Holiday programme I'll be talking to musician, composer and rock legend Jon Lord. A founding member of Deep Purple, he's also the man who got me listening to Bach when I was still a long-haired teenager with a taste for loud rock music. In the interview Jon talks about Deep Purple, the Hammond organ and of course his Concerto for Group and Orchestra performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra back in 1969. And when we're done talking, I'm going to play his latest classical piece - The Durham Concerto - in its entirety. Hope you can tune in.

We've started a new exclusive club - The JK Ensemble Ensemble, made up of some of our favourite musicians. We've already added Hélène Grimaud and Charlie Haden to the list. Any thoughts on who we should add next?
