    Andrew Lloyd Webber: Theatrical Impresario

    It’s undisputed: Andrew Lloyd Webber has written more blockbuster musicals than any composer alive.

    Andrew Lloyd Webber, Turner Prize nominees Gentle / Radical, Costa Book Awards

    During the pandemic Andrew Lloyd Webber has been more of a campaigner than a composer.

Front Row announces the shortlists for the 2021 awards tonight across all categories: First Novel, Novel, Biography, Poetry and Children’s Book.

Tonight it’s the turn of Gentle / Radical, a collective based in Riverside in Cardiff.
