YorWorld turned 1 this week with an special extended show packed with interviews, features, previews and live music!On our first show of the term we spoke to Helena Blackman, acclaimed west end star who leapt into the public eye after singing her way to the final of the BBC's hit reality tv series 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria'. Hear about Helena's latest tour as well as her career as a musicals leading lady including how she met musical legend Stephen Sondhiem.
John Wakefield looks at the life and work of possibly York's most famous artist William Etty through York Art Gallery's Latest exhibition, William Etty: Art and Controversy' including a personal tour of the exhibition by the gallery's curator Laura Turner.

Also on the show this week we previewed the first show of the Dramasoc term 'A Star in the Morning Sky', a play set during the 1980 Moscow Olympics which follows a group of prostitutes who are made to leave the city.We were also joined on the line by acclaimed British composer and conducter Ron Corp who was recently awarded an OBE who talked to us about his career in music and offers some advice to anyone at the university considering a career in the music world.
