Sir Lenny Henry is the Rewind Selector!

Feelgood tunes to make you groove! Plus Sir Lenny Henry chooses the tracks that take him back to the dance floors of his youth in Rewind Selector.

Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh tunes to make you groove. Melvin Odoom, in for DJ Spoony, serves up a brilliant selection of soulful house, classic soul, disco, RnB, UK Garage, Reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, funk, dance remixes, and much more!

Sir Lenny Henry is the Rewind Selector, choosing the tracks that take him back to the dance floors of his youth. He reflects on the nights and records that shaped him long before Tiswas, The Lenny Henry Show, Chef!, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and decades of groundbreaking work across comedy, drama, charity and activism. Sir Lenny returns to the stage this week with Still At Large, his first full stand‑up tour in 17 years, blending comedy, life stories and cultural reflection. He'll be touring the UK throughout the year. He is also the face of Channel 4’s Legends of Comedy with Lenny Henry, a documentary series celebrating comedy pioneers and exploring how Britain’s great comics found their voice. Expect a soulful selection from one of Britain’s defining cultural voices.
