  • The Spitz on BBC Radio London

    Spitz founding director Jane Glitre and pianist Arthur Lea joined broadcaster Robert Elms on his BBC Radio London Show on Friday 9th February. They chatted about the origin of The Spitz, from the East London music venue, to today’s work taking high-quality live music to care homes and hospitals.

    If you like what you hear, please consider making a donation to our Crowdfunder campaign. We’re aiming to raise £10,000 as we move into the second decade of The Spitz.
