In Tune comes live from BBC Radio Merseyside in Liverpool. Petroc is joined by Liverpool-born mezzo soprano Jennifer Johnston, who talks about growing up in a city with such a vibrant musical heritage. He takes a walk along Hope Street, from the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, past the Philharmonic Hall, to Liverpool Cathedral, where he meets Ian Tracey, organist there since 1980, who is retiring in October. Specially for In Tune, Ian performs on the Cathedral's magnificent Father Willis Organ – celebrating the centenary of the largest pipe organ in the UK.
