The Spitalfields Music Festival returns

The Spitalfields Music Festival returns to East London on Saturday for 9 days of performance and collaboration.

Now in its 42nd year it will see events take place across the area from a club in Hackney Wick to the Tower of London.

Among the new commissions is a piece called Unknown, Remembered which brings together music from Handel and key lyrics from one of Joy Division's albums.

London Live spoke to DJ and Composer Shiva Feshareki.
